Description
Take a tour of the ancient city of Luang Prabang.

Explore places like palace Pak Ou, Ban Phanom, Khousangsi Falls and many more. You can feel the changing times with every site you visit. Small enough to explore on foot, the town reveals its charm and history at every turn, with gilded temples on nearly every corner and saffron robed monks strolling the quiet streets.
