Rivertime Resort and Ecolodge

Rivertime Ecolodge is only 29 km from Vientiane and offers a true taste of rural Laos but with most of the comforts of home. Activities on offer include trekking, cycling, boat trips, local tours, tubing, fishing, a floating restaurant, traditional massage and a small Internet café.

Located just 29 kilometers from Vientiane Capital, Rivertime Resort and Ecolodge has been built entirely from local materials using local labour and expertise.

Sensitively constructed in old secondary forest on the edge of the mighty Nam Ngum river and within easy reach of the Lao capital, the resort offers an ideal ecotourism vacation for visitors to Laos – ‘Asia’s Premier Ecotourism Destination!’

The resort’s 10 medium and family-sized lodges each provide a wide view of the river, are moderately priced and comfortably fitted-out to suit the requirements of today’s eco-tourists.

The grounds of Rivertime Resort encompass a beautiful, lovingly-created flower and organic vegetable garden, several acres of old-growth forest, a floating restaurant on the Nam Ngum River, small Internet café, fish ponds, and children’s adventure play area.

The resort offers several trekking trails, and guided tours, ranging from a 20 minute stroll through the old growth forest in the resort grounds to half-day local area treks or cycle rides on the resort’s bicycles.

One or two-day treks through the mountainous primary forests in Phou Khao Kwai National Protected Area can also be arranged, and river tours to the many areas of interest along the Nam Ngum river leave from the Resort at the request of guests.
