Itinerary

1. DAY-1 Arrival at Luang Prabang

   • Upon arrival in Luang Prabang, transfer to your hotel with your tour guide. Begin to explore this charming town, starting with a visit to Wat Xieng Thong, arguably the most stunning in the country, with its brilliant mosaics.

   • Continue to the Palace Museum, which houses an eclectic collection, including statues, mosaic-covered walls, French mirrors, and a piece of moon rock given to "the people of Laos" by President Nixon.

   • Late afternoon, head to the top of Mt Phousi, with its panoramic views of the city and the surrounding hills. The mountain is dotted with small shrines and monasteries. This is a perfect spot for sunset, as the golden spires of wats are beautifully illuminated.

2. DAY-2 Luang Prabang

   • Witness the monks in their morning meal procession.

   • Proceed with an excursion up the Mekong River to the holy caves of Pak Ou, where some of the most famous Buddhist sculpture in Southeast Asia is found.

   • Re-board your boat and travel downstream to a rice-wine producing village on the banks of the Mekong.

   • Afterward, visit Ban Phanom, a tribal village well known for its traditional Lao weaving in cotton and silk. Time is allotted for you to purchase some of these beautiful and inexpensive hand-woven cloths. Return to your hotel for the evening.

3. DAY-3 Depart from Luang Prabang

   • Enjoy your free time for souvenir shopping until transfer to the airport for your onward flight.
