This is good day trip out of Vientiane, and is just a few Km off the road to Vang Vieng and beyond.
A couple of hours by car, north of Vientiane is the vast artificial lake of Ang Nam Ngum created when the Nam Ngum River was dammed. To get to the lake you pass the great dam itself in a beautiful landscaped area and there are good views across the river to the structure.
