Anyone know details of trail from Phongsali to Samphan?

It definitely exists. Goes from Phongsali via the attached waypoint on the Nam Ou River, so North Easterly direction from Phongsali initially. I assume it does a big loop as it’s about 170kms between Phongsali and Samphan. I am trying to map manually using satellite imagery but can’t seem to complete route, I guess there must be some new roads not shown that complete the route. Off to Laos again with friends in Jan ‘26 and looking to add this leg in. Might do in opposite direction, Muang Khua, Samphan, Phongsali. Cheers Phil

Hi Phil, just saw your post and was wondering if you had any further information on your planned route, a mate and I are planning a similar trip in January.
cheers Chris
