Pha Boom
For those who enjoy steep hikes, this is an excellent way to let off steam and enjoy a very nice view from the Pha Boom viewpoint.
It is impossible to get lost, as there is only one path, and handrails are provided to help you on both the ascent and descent.
It is even possible to sleep up there for the more adventurous. Small tents are available.
Be careful not to linger after sunset, as the descent should not be attempted in the dark!

Departure from Laos
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.
