NDCS Laos Bike Charity Challenge Charity: The National Deaf Children's Society (NDCS) Challenge:  Laos Bike Charity Challenge Dates: 21/10/2011 -30/10/2011 Deposit*: £ 199 Minimum Sponsorship*: £  2995 Grade:  Tough   The National Deaf Children's Society (NDCS) is the national charity dedicated to creating a world without barriers for deaf children and young people - by taking part in our new and exciting Bike Laos you will be helping us continue our vital support. This stunning bike challenge in the North of Laos, takes us through a region of rugged mountains, lush forests and breathtaking landscapes on a remote borderland abutting Thailand, Myanmar (Burma), China and Vietnam with a significant minority population of hill peoples. We start the challenge in the key centre of the North in the old royal capital of Luang Prabang, one of the world’s most beautiful cities. We start our biking challenge in Luang Prabang, a favour for every visitor to Laos due to its rich combination of natural beauty, elegant architecture and exotic local colour. With its well-preserved blend of traditional Lao and European architecture, the picturesque city has been inscribed a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The former royal capital is nestled among the mountains on the banks of the Mekong River and exudes an alluring charm. Our ride ends in the capital city Vientiane. Vientiane feels more like a market town than a capital city, and therein lays its charm. The temples, markets and monuments can easily be discovered on foot. From the attractive mix of French colonial architecture and fine temples to the lively scenes along the riverfront, Vientiane retains its old-world charm in an increasingly modern country.   Contact Laura Beavis laura.beavis@ndcs.org.uk http://www.ndcs.org.uk/ 020 7014 1165   Downloads		In Pictures     Participant Feedback...
