Luang Prabang – Pak Ou Caves Tour

Located 25km from Luang Prabang, Pak Ou Cave is home to thousands of Buddha images in different sizes. Being a place of worship for hundreds of years, this is one of the most revered holy sites in Laos. Today, we will board a lazy cruise along the Mekong and spend a day out among the peaceful riverside landscapes and local village. Other highlights are several handicraft villages along the way. A river excursion to the cave is one of the best quick trips you can make out of the town.
