Luang Prabang - Pak Ou - Luang Prabang

Luang Prabang is one of Southeast Asia's most beautiful and traditional towns. In this adventure travel through the former royal capital of Laos, discover the country's distinctive charm and beauty as you immerse in the splendid natural landscape and cultural sights of Luang Prabang.

A well-preserved town that has been designated a World Heritage Site, Luang Prabang boasts of an outstanding blend of traditional Buddhist and European architectural styles. With no tall buildings that mar the townscape, the sweeping roofs of gleaming Buddhist temples and pagodas and tree-lined riverbanks will quickly enchant you.

To gain a deeper insight into the spiritual soul of the city, we will bring you deep into the limestone caverns of Pak Ou Caves to see the repository of Buddha statues and up Mount Phou Si to capture the spectacular view of the town at sunset.

You will have time to wander through the bustling hill tribe market in the evening. Putting up in the beautiful and luxurious La Residence Phou Vao, you will relish a relaxing Lao holiday as you explore this mountain kingdom nestled in the rolling mountains by the Mekong River.
