Muang La is a small charming town in the heart of northern Laos in Oudomxay Province. It is situated on Road 2E, near the confluence of the Nam La and Nam Pak rivers; about 28km from Oudomxay towards Phongsali but the terrible road surface means the journey will take one hour. The scenic town is surrounded by rich tapestry of verdant mountains, lush forests, rivers, tranquil farmland and traditional Khmu villages. Muang La’s main attraction is the natural hot springs which are free to all visitors. Picture yourself soaking sore muscles in hot water while taking in the river scenery.
