Laos – the north – heaven for motorcyclists
We took a little bit more than two weeks to travel the north of Laos. It’s a beautiful area that seems like it is made solely for motorcycling.

So we were really surprised to find out that it has also areas with tropical jungle forests, with tigers, elephants and crocodiles. There are several national parks in Nepal, where you can experience the jungle and its wildlife. We stayed at the
