Discover the distinctive charm and beauty of Laos in this journey through the kingdom formerly known as Lang Xang, the Land of Million Elephants. Staying in some of Indochina's most elegant hotels you will have the opportunity to taste the unique atmosphere in Luang Prabang as well as see enigmatic Vientiane. Along the way you will be enchanted and fascinated by this extraordinary Buddhist country noted for her genuinely friendly people and languorous pace of life.
Luang Prabang is one of Asia's most beautiful towns. A unique blend of temples and colonial buildings set between two rivers and a range of limestone mountains, it is one of the last Shangri-la's in the world. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage site, the architectural heritage of the city has been preserved, and no tall buildings mar the townscape. This ancient town is resplendent with well-preserved Buddhist temples, pagodas and tree-lined riverbanks. We will bring you deep into the limestone caverns of the Pak Ou Caves to see the repository of Buddha statues and up Mount Phou Si to capture the spectacular panorama of the town. You will have time to observe and partake in the giving of food items to saffron-clad monks as they stroll along the streets during their daily alms collection at dawn as well as pick up an assortment of textiles and handicrafts in the bustling hill tribe night market.
A flight south will take you to Vientiane, the capital city of Laos, located along the Mekong River. Resembling a small town more than a capital, Vientiane still maintains the handsome majesty and grandeur of its colonial yesteryears with its ample French-inspired buildings and wide boulevards. You also have the opportunity to learn the finer aspects of Lao culture heritage through its fine cuisine and traditional crafts besides enjoying an aromatic brew of the local coffee by the riverbanks of stately Mekong River.
Journey in style along the Mekong River with our two night Wat Phou Cruise and discover an area rich in village life and Khmer ruins. In between destinations on this Laos tour, you will enjoy your meals on deck as the beautiful Mekong environment passes by. You will also stop to see Wat Phou, a Khmer temple situated on a hill which offers a stunning view of the scenery below. A visit to Si Phan Don, which translates to four thousand islands, allows you to explore the villages in the area, take in the quiet river setting, and relax by a nearby waterfall.
Extend your Laos experience with this trip as you unearth the mysteries of these relics that are scattered throughout the area in the Plain of Jars package. After a visit with the Mine Action Group, set off for the Plain of Jars and see these items lying randomly across the countryside while learning about various legends regarding these phenomena. After that, drive through scenic rice fields and see the interesting nearby town and its collection of ancient pagodas.
Discover two of Laos’ cities, one being the cultural capital and the other as an administrative capital in our Linking Capitals Laos tour. In Luang Prabang, you will see orange clad monks on alms walks set against a backdrop of glittering temples. Take a cooking class and visit the National Museum. In Vientiane, enjoy the numerous historical monuments that dot this quickly changing small town capital.
With our Overland Laos tour, you will have a road trip through Laos’ sights and sounds that cannot be experienced by other means. Start off in Luang Prabang, where glittering temples and colonial buildings stand peacefully side by side. Then, head off to Van Vieng and the town’s limestone caves and caverns. Conclude the trip with a visit to the capital Vientiane, where you can experience the heritage of the city with visits to historical sites and taste the local food.
