Laos Tours

1. Kuang Si Waterfall

About 20 miles from Luang Prabang, the Kuang Si Waterfall awaits you in the middle of dense green forests. You can look forward to several natural pools where you can refresh yourself and a breathtaking view from the highest point of the waterfall. The best time to visit this natural spectacle is in the morning to experience the special atmosphere undisturbed.

2. Pha That Luang Stupa

Pha That Luang is not only the national symbol of Laos but also the most important Buddhist monument in the country. The magnificent golden stupa, whose arrow-like tower rises 150 feet into the sky, is located in the capital Vientiane. Some legends have grown up around this impressive building from the 16th century. Among other things, it is believed that a relic of Buddha himself is inside.

3. Si Phan Don

The 4,000 islands, Si Phan Don, is an idyllic region in the surroundings of Champasak, consisting of various large and small islands in the Mekong. In the charming villages located on some of the islands, you will get a feel for the original life in Laos. Explore the surroundings by boat, bicycle, and typical tuk tuk. With a little luck, you might discover the rare Irrawaddy dolphins.

4. Vang Vieng

Between Luang Prabang and Vientiane, surrounded by karst formations and rain forest, lies the small town of Vang Vieng. Relax here in the middle of endless rice fields or explore the countless caves and lagoons that are located in the vicinity. The small town is located on the banks of the Nam Song River, where you can go kayaking or watch picturesque sunsets in the evening.

5. Pak Ou Caves

North of the UNESCO World Heritage City of Luang Prabang, Pak Ou Caves, also known as Buddha Caves, await you. This nickname comes from the fact that inside the two limestone caves are countless golden Buddha images in various sizes. After a two-hour boat trip through idyllic landscapes, you will reach the Buddhist place of worship from Luang Prabang. On the way there, or after the cave exploration, you can visit some small villages.

6. Mekong River

The mighty Mekong River stretches from north to south through all of Laos, offering wonderful opportunities to get to know the country from the water. For example, board the boat at the Thai border and sail leisurely over several days to the spiritual center of the country, Luang Prabang. On the way, you will visit several villages of different ethnic groups and get an insight into the traditional life here and a feeling for Laos in its different facets. Less
