Amazing Laos 7 Days 6 Nights

An early start gives you the fantastic opportunity to participate in the daily morning almsgiving ritual for saffron-clad monks. This tradition is unique to Laos, being the only Buddhist nation still preserving this procession and we continue to explore the morning market to sightsee the sales foods on display. Transfer back to the hotel for breakfast.

After breakfast, we will travel by boat up the tea-colored waters of the Mekong River to the Pak Ou Caves. Numerous large and small Buddha statues that devotees have left behind are present in the caves. You’ll be amazed to see how many are packed in! Along the way, you will stop at a riverside Ban Xang Khong village to see the famous weavers working on ancient looms before returning to town.

In the afternoon, visit and enjoy a tour of the city's oldest temple, Wat Sene, and the magnificent Wat Xieng Thong, where you can see the impressive "tree of life" mosaic set in colored glass.

We then explore the Night Market, where you can find a lovely selection of handmade textile made by local and hill tribe people surrounding Luang Prabang.   Overnight in Luang Prabang.

After breakfast, visit the National Museum at the former Royal Palace, which displays a precious collection of artifacts reflecting the richness of Lao culture dating from the days of the early kings right through the last sovereign. In the early afternoon, we depart for a 1-hour drive south to one of Luang Prabang’s most picturesque sights, the Kuang Si waterfall. Once at the waterfalls, take a leisurely hike through the national park towards the Kuang Si waterfalls and pass by the Asian Bear Rescue Center. For the more adventurous, continue to the top of the main waterfall. Swimming in the refreshing waters is possible, although between November and January the water temperature is very cool.

On the way back to Luang Prabang, we will take a short visit to the Ock Pop Tock Living Craft Center, set serenely close to the Mekong. This beautiful, traditionally styled workshop, where weavers, spinners, and batik makers produce top-quality fabrics, offers free tours every half-hour. This is also one of the best spots to admire the sunset in Luang Prabang.
