TREKKING and CYCLING

Ecolodge Trail (20 minutes)
Ideal for young children and those wishing to get a brief taste of forest trekking before attempting more ambitious trails, this walk takes visitors along a safe, carefully constructed path through the old secondary forest in the resort grounds. The forest is home to many varied species of butterflies, indigenous pineapple groves and bamboo stands, as well as agar trees, eucalyptus and a variety of indigenous Lao trees, bushes and shrubs.  A brief walk along this trail enables visitors to appreciate the way in which forest cover develops when left to regenerate naturally without human interference

Walk or cycle ride to Local Temples (half day)
Just a short walk or cycle ride from Rivertime is the temple of Wat Thadokkham on the banks of the Nam Ngum River.  This very large temple and its resident monks are much revered and often visited by Vientiane’s city residents.
