- Ziplining in Gibbon Experience, Bokeo Province, Laos
(We signed up for "The Gibbon Experience" here in northwest Laos, some 90min away from Huoayxai town, heading into the Nam Kan National Forest Reserve. But our start of this trek began with a massive monsoon downpour, which caused the dirt road leading into the village to turn into a muddy roller-coaster ride in their 4x4 jeep, for all 9 of us. But 2hrs of tough uphill trekking later (in U$5 rubber boots), I got to experience my 1st zipline ride - and what a thrill it was too. The sensation of ziplining through the canopy of the tallest trees here is simply magical - just like a gibbon must be feeling when it swings its long hands from tree to tree. And it was one of 6 ziplining runs in one afternoon - woohoo! see vdo's below)
