Laos motorcycle tours

Laos motorcycle adventure tours from MotoAsia are a different kettle of fish to Thailand motorcycle tours. Laos is pretty special, ask anyone.

"The Most Secret Place On Earth Tour" - 8 days - USD$ 2,395 (60% trails) (all inclusive).

On one of our Laos motorcycle tours, away from the big cities, it feels like its 30 years back in time versus Thailand.

You will experience a much more rural feel on a Laos motorcycle tour, there are less than 7 million people in Laos versus Thailand’s 67 million population. So why pick a Laos motorbike tour? This country is still very untouched since the Vietnam War era, on one of our motorcycling adventure tours you can still experience ethnical tribal cultures that date back 1,000’s of years, it's becoming harder and harder to find.

The U.S's most secret CIA base that never existed. So secret in fact, it wasn't on any Laos maps! During the Vietnam War this was the busiest airport landing strip in the world & no-one even knew it existed - "LS 20 A" (Alternate).

Nestled between mountains on 3 sides, it had been a restricted no go area to the general public for 30 years, but now has been opened up & gives a great opportunity for inclusion in a dirt tour in Laos.
