Mai Linh Tourism Company on April 13 launched two bus tours between the central coastal city of Nha Trang and the southern Lao province of Champassak.
The Vietnamese company uses 16-seat buses for the tours. Both take two days and one night to go through six provinces in Vietnam’s central region and Central Highlands, and the Lao province.
The first tour starts every Monday in Nha Trang, and is followed by Phu Yen, Binh Dinh, Gia Lai, Kon Tum, Laos’ Attapu, and Champassak. The second tour starts every Thursday, also from Nha Trang to Buon Ma Thuot, Gia Lai, Kon Tum, Attapu and Champassak.
The entire cost, which includes breakfast, meal, two-star hotel, is VND850,000 per traveler.
Champassak is home to the Khone Falls, which are a series of cataracts on the Mekong River, extreme southern Laos, on the Cambodian border. The Khone has the greatest volume of the world’s waterfalls, its 2,500,000 gallons (9,500,000 liters) per second being nearly double that of Niagara Falls.
