As Southeast Asia’s only landlocked country, Laos is a tranquil realm of mist-shrouded mountains, French colonial charm, and deeply rooted Buddhist traditions. Wander through the historic, saffron-robed streets of Luang Prabang, a UNESCO World Heritage city famed for its golden temples and sacred morning almsgiving rituals. Explore the spectacular, multi-tiered cascades of Kuang Si Waterfall, or journey south to discover the mysterious stone jars on the Plain of Jars and the labyrinthine river islands of Si Phan Don (Four Thousand Islands). Woven together by the majestic, slow-moving waters of the Mekong River, Laos offers a profoundly peaceful escape into authentic heritage and raw natural beauty.
Below are our most visited cities, destinations and national parks in Laos.
Luang Prabang
Luang Prabang is a pleasant city at the Mekong river, with traditional Laos-style buildings ( Unesco-heritage). There are boat connections up-stream to Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Vang Vieng
Vang Vieng used to be the city where many Westerners (in particularly youth) came to party, but after a few deadly accidents the "bad" parties are no more. There are still lots of restaurants and tourist stores... The river is still very inviting for canoeing and it is nice to rent a scooter and discover the area. Something special here is ballooning.
Vientiane
Vientiane is Laos´ capital, the most populated city and the location of the government, president and some temples. It is VERY relaxing here, certainly for a capital city. No traffic jams or line-ups anywhere.
