A Taste of Laos
4 days from USD 468 (£235) per person
Laos is a country where visitors can really escape from the stress of modern life and step into the tranquillity of a world where the pace of life is much, much slower. This short trip is easily tacked onto other itineraries in the region, allowing the traveller to see something of the country’s capital and main attraction, Luang Prabang.
Vientiane has to be a contender for most laid back capital, and with much to see provides the perfect starting point for this short trip. You’ll visit the city’s main sights before heading up to Luang Prabang, a World Heritage Site. With its tranquil, old-world charm rarely found in Asia today you’ll explore this fascinating town which was the capital of the Lane Xang (Million Elephants) kingdom until the mid-sixteenth century. There are more than 30 gilded temples to discover, along with the Mekong River and the revered Pak Ou Caves with their many Buddha images.
Laos is one of Southeast Asia's least developed nations and offers the adventurous traveller many surprises – this is a great introduction for a first visit, the perfect taster of Laos.
