Breathtaking Views at Nong Khiaw Viewpoint

Getting There

• Walking

  From the centre of Muang Sing, head north on the main road (Route 1C) towards the Nong Khiaw Village sign. Continue walking for about 1.5 km until you reach the intersection with Route 1D. At this point, you may see a sign indicating direction towards Nong Khiaw. Follow the signs for Nong Khiaw and proceed along Route 1D, which is a scenic path offering beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. Continue for approximately another 3 km, and you will start to see the signs directing you to the Nong Khiaw Viewpoint on your left. Follow the path up to the viewpoint, which may be steep in parts but offers breathtaking views at the top.

• Bicycle

  Rent a bicycle from one of the local shops in Muang Sing. Start from the main square and head north on Route 1C, cycling for about 1.5 km until you reach the fork in the road with signs pointing towards Nong Khiaw. Take the left fork onto Route 1D. Continue cycling for about 3 km; you will notice several local villages along the way. Keep an eye out for the signs toward Nong Khiaw Viewpoint as you approach the final stretch, where you will have to park your bicycle and walk up the steep trail leading to the viewpoint.

• Trekking

  For the adventurous, consider trekking to the Nong Khiaw Viewpoint. Begin your journey at the main market in Muang Sing. Follow the footpaths that lead north out of the town, passing through rice fields and local villages. After about 2 km, you will connect with a more established trail leading to the viewpoint. This trail can be steep and rocky, so wear appropriate footwear. The trek may take around 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on your pace, but offers an immersive experience of the natural beauty and rural life in the area.
