Luang Prabang has long been popular with backpackers but now older, discerning travellers are also discovering its unique charms. Destination Asia’s classic one-day tour offers a rich experience of the tranquility and tropical charm of this historic city, which is now under UNESCO protection as a World Heritage Site. There’s also a one-day tour which sets out from Luang Prabang and crosses the mighty Mekong River to arrive at Ban Chan village, where guests can see and try their hand at the ancient local art of pottery making.
The Northern Laos Expedition comprises a three-day, two-night journey by boat to the fascinating, remote upland jungle region. Accommodation is in traditional Laos-style houses built by the surrounding community, so guests are contributing to the local people when they stay here. They also get the chance to encounter the amazing diversity of local wildlife.
Another offbeat adventure is a four-day, three-night boat trip to the Hin Boun Natural Biodiversity Conservation Area, which includes a trek through a cavern which opens onto a stunning, secluded valley and the unforgettably atmospheric ruined city of Aran.
These are just a few of the adventures available, explore the full range of what Laos has to offer here.
