From Ban Ma village to Muang Ngoy

To leave the small town of Muang Ngoi, you can get lost in a small remote village called Ban Ma. The path is dusty and exposed to the sun, but it is very easy and well marked. It can also be done by tuk-tuk.

Description of the walk

I have only published the return journey. Obviously, the outward journey takes just as long, around 1 hour, as the elevation gain is close to 0. 

(S) So, departure from one of the two villages

There is only one main road separating them, and no shortcuts are possible as the road is fairly straight.

(E) You will arrive after an hour's walk, depending on your speed.

Notes

Dusty path that is very exposed to the sun, with relatively little shade along the way. So remember to stay hydrated!
