About Hideaway Laos
The company was established in 2021 to provide day trips and short tours around the “Chateau Orientale” Resort in Luang Prabang, Laos. The resort, which opened in 2018, required an official tour operator’s license to conduct these excursions.
Just 7 kilometers from the resort lies the geologically remarkable “Ghost Valley,” a site boasting over 300 million years of natural history. This spectacular valley, featuring a mysterious cave discovered by our founder in 2001, serves as the centerpiece of our tour offerings. Guests can explore the area through single-day or multi-day guided experiences, with transportation options including e-bikes, hiking trails, or local shuttle services.
enjoy your time with the pros!
With our tour operator’s license valid throughout Laos, we plan to expand our operations nationwide, specializing in e-bike tours gradually. As “Hideaway-Laos,” we pride ourselves on being the country’s leading e-bike tourism specialists.
We are excited to share our new tour catalogue featuring a variety of outdoor activities! We’ve refreshed our offerings by removing some previous programs and adding new ones based on what our clients love most. Our experiences over the past few years have helped us understand your preferences, allowing us to refine our most popular tours.
All our outdoor adventures take place in the stunning landscape surrounding the “Chateau Orientale” Resort. With over 20 years of experience, we know this area inside and out and confidently believe it’s the best spot for outdoor activities around Luang Prabang. The breathtaking view of the NamNo mountain range from our resort is just the beginning — the jungle-covered mountains and dramatic limestone cliffs invite exploration, and we offer various ways to do this, whether by e-bike, on foot, by kayak, or even with our elephants.
We’ve created 8 half-day tours, 6 full-day tours, and 4 two-day tours, all offered exclusively in private protected areas that most other operators don’t access, helping us keep nature largely untouched.
Keep in mind that due to our limited number of tour guides, some tours may be unavailable during peak seasons as guides may already be booked. So, the earlier you book, the better your chances of securing your preferred tour!
We hope you enjoy browsing through our activities and look forward to welcoming you soon!
Why choose e-bikes?
Markus Peschke, founder and owner of both “Chateau Orientale” resort and “Hideaway-Laos” tours, has been passionate about e-bikes since 2011. Over the years, he has developed extensive expertise in e-bike technology, maintenance, repairs, and parts sourcing. This knowledge enables us to maintain our fleet to the highest standards and offer reliable guided tours throughout Laos’ mountainous terrain. Our e-bikes ensure an effortless cycling experience on all tours.

Elephant shelter
Before discovering e-bikes, Markus Peschke developed a deep passion for Laos’ elephants. Since 2002, he has incorporated these magnificent creatures into his custom-designed tours, providing them with a humane alternative to logging—the strenuous work of hauling timber from the Laotian jungle.

Share the experiences
So be sure that when you book with Hideaway-Laos, you are not booking a plagiarised tour, but booking all activities with a quasi “explorer” who is experienced in his field. You can also be sure that a booking with “Hideway-Laos” not only promotes but also creates so-called sustainable tourism and thus not only creates new jobs in the disadvantaged outer areas of the country but also protects them as much as possible in a responsible way.
