Luang Prabang
Overview
Step into a heady, spiritual world of golden spires, saffron-robed monks, frangipani flowers and crumbling French mansions. Prepare to be instantly caught in the spell of Luang Prabang, a heartwarming place slung along the banks of the Mekong River, circled by jungle-topped mountains. You’ll spend four days getting lost in the magic of Luang Prabang, watching monks file into the temples at sunrise and floating down the Mekong at sunset. Sip on a delicious local coffee at a sidewalk cafe, wander through the ramshackle market, explore nearby caves and walk to hidden waterfalls.

When you arrive in Luang Prabang, you’ll be transferred to your small-scale, charming guest house within walking distance of the city centre, run by friendly Laotians. The entire city has a welcoming and friendly vibe, so you’ll feel at home in an instant. You can spend the rest of the day exploring the city on foot, or whisk off around the sights on a bicycle.
Sunset on the Mekong and free time
Today you are free until 4pm when you’ll be picked up by tuk-tuk for a sunset trip along the Mekong River. You’ll sail upstream to the confluence of the Nam Khan and Mekong River, a sacred place for the local Laotians. On the other side of the river, you’ll take a walk to the hidden temple of Wat Long Khoune and Wat Chomphet. Finally, with glass of wine or beer in hand, you’ll watch the sun set over the legendary Mekong. The following day is free for your to spend as you wish.
Kuang Si Explorer
Today you will leave the city behind and head into the forest near the source of the Krung Si waterfalls. Along the way you will stop off at a few different villages to see the various lifestyles, traditions and religions. Once you get to the Kuangsi Waterfalls you can enjoy swimming at the natural pool and enjoy your picnic lunch.
