Visit Luang Prabang, the charming and serene spiritual capital of Laos, on this custom 7-day tour.
Amidst a backdrop of jungle-clad mountains, Luang Prabang is a most sacred and scenic spot. Crowned by verdant mountains and housing over 30 Wats (temples), former royal palaces and scenic ponds, it is the cultural nucleus of Laos.
Join us as and come to this fave spot of mine: immerse yourself in a bit of yoga and meditation, learn about traditional Laotian spirit and beliefs, feed baby elephants at a river sanctuary, ride on a Mekong River cruise, meditate in Buddhist caves, swim in turquoise waterfall lagoons, and walk through this historical UNESCO town, as you soak into the laid-back lifestyle of Laos. This is a place to lose yourself into Buddhist culture, bike along temple gates, or wander into small scenic streets and explore this gem of a town.
The former Royal Capital is at its most vibrant after the rainy season (Nov-Dec), when the forests are brilliant emerald and the rivers are in full flow. We will benefit from the full rivers and verdant forests.
Saffron-robed monks collect their daily alms and ornate temples such as Wat Xieng Thong offer spiritual solace. Luang Prabang is known for its artisanry and culture, with interesting galleries, bookshops and other venues that specialise in traditional arts and crafts. Outside town, the beautiful countryside is rich in ethnic culture. Out trip includes a leisurely river cruise on the Mekong to bring you to Pak Ou Caves, where the Kings damaged Buddhas were stored. Additional Options include a journey to Kuang Si Waterfall, a succession of falls and crystalline jungle pools, and an Elephant Sanctuary to learn how Laos is heloing to protect their environment.
