What are the must-see destinations on your tour in Laos?
Laos stretches 1,000 kilometers from north to south, offering a remarkable diversity of landscapes and experiences. Each region has its own wonders, which our Travel Planners harmoniously integrate into your personalized itinerary.
The mystical North: Luang Prabang and its surroundings
Luang Prabang, a former royal capital listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is often the heart of a tour in Laos. This city of 55,000 inhabitants enchants with its 32 Buddhist temples, including the famous Vat Xieng Thong with its characteristic golden roofs. Your mornings start with the silent procession of monks in saffron robes, a millennium-old ritual preserved in authenticity.
The Kuang Si waterfalls, 29 kilometers from the city, offer a striking natural spectacle with their tiered turquoise pools stretching over 60 meters high. Our Travel Planners often organize a full day including a visit to the bear protection center and a picnic at the natural pools.
The region also hosts Nong Khiaw, a picturesque village nestled among the karst cliffs of the Nam Ou river. This off-the-beaten-path destination allows for spectacular hikes and authentic encounters with local communities.
The dynamic Center: Vientiane and Vang Vieng
Vientiane, the capital with 820,000 inhabitants, harmoniously blends French colonial heritage and Lao traditions. The That Luang, a 45-meter tall golden stupa, symbolizes the national identity and warrants an in-depth visit. The morning market offers a unique sensory immersion into local cuisine.
Vang Vieng, 160 kilometers north of the capital, captivates with its spectacular karst landscapes along the Nam Song river. This destination allows for varied activities: kayaking, hiking in the Pak Ou caves, or simply enjoying the sunsets from floating bars.
The authentic South: the Bolaven Plateau and the 4000 islands
The Bolaven Plateau, rising to 1,200 meters above sea level, reveals a different Laos with its arabica coffee plantations and powerful waterfalls. The region produces some of the best coffees in Southeast Asia, and our Travel Planners organize tastings at local producers.
The Si Phan Don archipelago, nicknamed the "4000 islands," marks the border with Cambodia. This uniquely world-renowned region is home to the last freshwater dolphins of the Irrawaddy and the Khone Phapheng falls, the widest waterfalls in Southeast Asia with their 10 kilometers width.
