The second day of the journey gives you a chance to experience an awesome ride through the trails. You will have to cross over the mountains covered with mist before getting to Houay Xai, which is the best place to explore the daily life of the Lao people. One of the must-see destinations here is Fort Carnot, which was built in the French colonial era. Standing from the tower, you can see the breathtaking panorama of Houay Xai.
