Small town of Vang Vieng is nothing much to look at from the ground level except the scenic river side of the Nam Song river. Hot air balloon ride is a new attraction on the block which is drawing attention away from notorious tubing adventures. Flying high above in the air in a balloon is always fascinating. Though a bit expensive than other activities, balloon ride over Vang Vieng is the best way to soak in the beauty of limestone mountains. You can go for sunrise or sunset tours. Capture the slanting sun casting warm glow on these famous mountains peaks. The town of Vang Vieng dotted with colourful tin roofs looks pretty from up in the air. The bird’s eye view of mountains, river and rice paddies will leave lasting impressions. Explore the flat valley around Vang Vieng, where shiny limestone peaks rise majestically. It is an exhilarating feeling to ride 900 meters above the ground and watch the thick blanket of lush green rainforest covering the valley.
