Sepon

Sepon lies in the eastern uplands of the Mekong basin, near the meeting of the Sepon and Xe Bang Hieng rivers. The Sepon flows through valleys on the western slopes of the Annamese mountains before joining the larger river, whose waters continue toward the Mekong. Forested ridges enclose the valleys, and communities along the streams inhabit a region linking the Lao interior with the lands beyond the mountains.
