The largest and hardest of the routes through Pakse. This loop has plenty of dirt roads, bad bridges and hard riding. This is not recommended unless you are experienced and in a group as if you get a problem here it will be hard to get help. The reward for taking the hard route is that you can see Sepa waterfall and some rural dirt roads.
