Timing is everything, early September is still wet, but as the month draws to a close the days slowly become drier and the natural beauty of Laos is there for all to enjoy.

Rain = growth and the countryside won’t look greener, especially around Vang Vieng and Muang La, whose hillsides will be at their most picturesque by late September if a little soggy. To this end life around rivers and waterfalls will be at their most spectacular.  The rain tempers the heat, but humidity will still be high.
