Many travellers consider Luang Prabang to be one of the most enjoyable locations in Laos, specifically due to its location on the banks of the legendary Mekong River, the Laotian hospitality and the friendly small streets. This Laos trip offers an introduction to this charming city, where monks dressed in orange robes are a common sight and Buddhist temples are on every street corner. Spend three nights in a small-scale hotel within walking distance from the centre of the city. Surrounded by green mountain passes and closed off by rivers, Luang Prabang offers hiking and biking opportunities in the city and throughout its wild natural environment.

Vientiane is a sleepy town on the banks of the immense Mekong River. It's a great place to stroll through the tree-lined, somewhat disorderly streets, without feeling like you're in a capital. Although Vientiane is the Laotian capital, it feels more like a large town, and it's missing a lot of the noise and chaos common in the cities. This Laos tour offers a relaxing start to your holiday and includes airport pick-up and two nights in a comfortable, centrally located hotel.

The 'Plain of Jars' is one of the most unique attractions in Laos and one of our favourite Laos tours. This plain is strewn with stone bottles of unknown origin. Their presence on the plain adds a feeling of mystery to walks through this area. During this Laos tour you'll travel to Phonsavan, a town located in the hill country in north-east Laos, where you'll visit the famous 'Plain of Jars' and go on a short walk through the Phonsavan area. During your walk you'll visit several minority villages in this area and get to know their culture in a very special way.
