Day 1:
LUANG PRABANG (-/-)
Upon arrival at the airport, you are met
and transferred to the hotel. Luang Prabang is perhaps the
best-preserved traditional city in Southeast Asia. The tranquility
and charm of this town with its
splendid natural scenery and
cultural sights make it one of the most delightful places to visit
in Laos. After a short rest, we visit the impressive stupa of Wat
Visoun and the shrine of Wat Aham, Wat Mai; we
then climb up to the top of Phousi Mount for an enjoyable
exploration of the sacred, gilded stupa as well as a beautiful
sunset view of the city and the Mekong River. From there, we explore
Street Night Bazaar, where you can find the lovely collection
and handmade textile by local and hill tribe people surrounding
Luang Prabang. Overnight in Luang Prabang.
Day 2:
LUANG PRABANG (B/-/-)
After breakfast, we enjoy a
short-guided tour seeing the city’s oldest temple of Wat Sene and the
magnificent Wat Xiengthong with its roofs sweeping low to the
ground, which represent the classical architecture of Luang Prabang
temple. We then board a cruise upstream on the Mekong
River, which also gives us a
beautiful view of the tranquil countryside as well as an interesting
visit to the mysterious of Pak Ou Caves, crammed with
thousands of gold lacquered Buddha statues of various shapes and
sizes. Along the way, we stop at the village of Ban Xanghai, where they
make the distillation of local rice wine. On return, we take a short
drive to Ban Phanom, well known for its hand weaving.
Overnight in Luang Prabang.
Day 3:
LUANG PRABANG – DEPARTURE (B)
The National Museum at the former Royal Palace, which displays a lovely collection of the
artifacts reflecting the richness of Lao culture dating from the
days of the early kings right through the last sovereign, and the
Central Market are not to be missed. After visiting these sights
in the morning, you will have free time for your own exploration of
the town and strolling around the shopping area. The tour ends
after your transfer to the airport for departure
