Detail
Experience Laos from North to South on this adventure of discovery. Begin in Luang Prabang, the cultural capital of Laos and a true gem of Indochina, set on the Mekong river amidst rolling green hills. Once the seat of government of the ancient Kingdom of Laos, it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995. Spend a quiet day meandering up the mighty Mekong, hike to visit local hill tribe villages, and take part in the famed tradition of morning alms-giving to thousands of Buddhist monks. Journey South by air to Pakse, where time seems to run at a slower pace from the rest of the world. Explore the lush Bolaven Plateau and sample smooth, freshly-roasted coffee, grown in the surrounding plantations, and explore the 4,000 Islands area. Finish on the southern Mekong, with a visit to one of the largest waterfalls in the world, Khone Phapaeng Falls.
