Route 13 (Laos)

Route 13 (Laos)
Route 13 South, Laos.

Route 13 is the most important highway in the country of Laos. It connects the city of Vientiane to Luang Prabang in the north and roughly follows the line of the Mekong River down to the border with Cambodia. The road then continues at National Highway 7 in Cambodia.

Route 13 passes through the cities of Vientiane, Vang Vieng and Luang Prabang. The road is mostly paved, though the pavement is in poor condition at places. It is also relatively narrow, with sharp curves. There are no markings or lighting on the road. Several daily buses run from Vientiane to Luang Prabang, taking 8-10 hours.[1]
