An extensive sandstone mountain range 40 kilometers northeast of Vientiane is the site of one of Laos’ most beautiful nature reserves, Phou Khao Khouay NPA. Key species are white-cheeked gibbons, elephants and Green Peafowl, a bird believed to be close to extinction in Laos. While sightings of smaller animals are relatively common, a great deal of patience and luck is needed to observe larger species.
