Embark on a 4-day journey through the culture, nature, and tradition of Luang Prabang.
Upon arrival at Luang Prabang International Airport, be welcomed by a tour guide and transferred to your hotel for check-in. Take some time to relax before embarking on an evening adventure to one of Luang Prabang’s most iconic landmarks.
In the afternoon, ascend Phousy Hill, a revered site offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Mekong River and the rolling mountains beyond. At the summit, admire the sacred shrine and take in the magical sunset, casting golden hues over the town’s ancient rooftops.
Start your day early with an unforgettable spiritual experience—the Almsgiving Ceremony. As dawn breaks, witness the long lines of saffron-robed monks walking in silence to collect alms, an ancient Buddhist tradition deeply rooted in Lao culture. Visitors are encouraged to participate respectfully, following cultural etiquette.
Visit the Royal Palace National Museum, Wat Mai, Wat Xiengthong, Wat Sene, and Wat Visoun. After a morning of cultural discovery, enjoy a traditional Lao lunch at a city restaurant before heading into nature’s paradise.
In the afternoon, travel by private car to the breathtaking Kuang Si Waterfalls, the most famous cascade in Luang Prabang. Marvel at its turquoise pools, take a refreshing swim, or explore the surrounding nature trails. Before returning to the city, stop at a Hmong village, where you can interact with locals, browse handmade crafts, and witness traditional rural life.
The evening is yours to relax and explore at your leisure.
After breakfast, embark on a short journey to an Elephant Camp, where you will have the opportunity to ride and feed these gentle giants. Learn about the conservation efforts to protect them while enjoying an up-close experience with one of Laos' most beloved animals.
On the way back to the city, stop at Phanom Village, an old settlement renowned for its Lao silk and cotton weaving. Watch skilled artisans at work and perhaps purchase a unique handwoven piece as a keepsake.
Return to the hotel for free time before dinner. In the evening, indulge in a traditional Lao dinner show, where you can savor local delicacies while watching a captivating performance of Lao music and dance.
Begin your final full day with a private boat cruise along the Mekong River, heading towards the mystical Pak Ou Caves. Along the way, make a fascinating stop at Ban Sanghai, a village known for producing local Lao whisky. If you're feeling adventurous, take a sip of this traditional spirit!
Enjoy a scenic lunch at a local restaurant near Pak Ou Caves before exploring this spiritual site, which houses thousands of Buddha statues placed there by devoted pilgrims over centuries.
