		The hills and mountains up here have long been the domain of a scattering of animist tribal peoples, including the Hmong, Mien and Akha, and it is largely the chance to experience first-hand these near-pristine cultures that is drawing visitors to the region today.
		By far the most popular route out of Louang Phabang is the road through Oudomxai and Louang Namtha to Muang Sing, a laid-back Tai Leu town that lies within the borders of the Golden Triangle, the world's most notorious opium-producing zone.
		The usual direction of the loop is counter-clockwise (Louang Phabang-Oudomxai-Muang Sing-Xiangkok-Houayxai), but a clockwise route, heading north up the Mekong to Xiangkok first, could offer a more "Lao" experience.
