Ban Chom Ong

Ban Chom Ong is a village located close to the city of Oudomxay in northern Laos. It is the entry point to head to Chom Ong caves, which is a popular tourist attraction for people visiting Oudomxay. The village is also home to Khmu ethnic group, who offer a tour to the visitors to get glimpses of their lives in the countryside and their unique culture and traditions. It is also very beautifully located, surrounded by paddy rice fields and mountains on all sides.

The village also has one guest house with basic amenities if you wish to stay overnight. You can take up either a day or multiple day trips to the town, which also includes a trip to the cave organised by the tourism office. The tours cost between 80 to 150 USD and can be booked at Muang Xay. You can also rent a motorbike and tour the village on your own for about 20 USD per day, but the road to the town is quite steep and slightly dangerous if you are not an experienced driver.
