Laos |
|
Laos, landlocked country of northeast-central mainland Southeast Asia. It consists of an irregularly round portion in the north that narrows into a peninsula-like region stretching to the southeast. Overall, the country extends about 650 miles (1,050 km) from northwest to southeast. The capital is Vientiane, located on the Mekong River in the northern portion of the country.

Its rich cultural diversity comes from the 49 ethnic groups that influence the food, arts, customs, and festivals in the country. The best time to visit Laos is November through February. Since boat trips are a popular way to see the spectacular Laos landscape and many waterfalls, these are the best months to enjoy them. Oftentimes boat trips are not possible during the dry season. Luangprabang
.jpg) Once the ancient capital of northern Laos and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Luangprabang has retained much of its majesty and tranquillity. The town has more than 30 beautifully gilded temples and is a spiritual centre for the entire country. At dawn saffron-robed monks stream from the temples down narrow streets and alleys between buildings dating back to the French colonial era, collecting alms from their neighbours in the early morning light. The temple of Wat Xieng Thong is a highlight with its intricate mosaics, while the hilltop Wat Phu Si affords wonderful views over the town, the Mekong River and surrounding mountains. After the sun sets over the Mekong the town comes to life with a night market offering a huge range of goods. Luangprabang’s spectacular scenery offers opportunities for enjoyable trekking, river trips or elephant experiences. Here are a few of our favourite activities around the town.Vientiane .jpg) Vientiane is the capital of Laos, and although the largest city in the country, it is a pleasant place to explore on foot or by bicycle. Tree-lined boulevards and elegant architecture testify to its years under French occupation, in particular the Patuxai, which is reminiscent of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. This colonial past mingles with even older temples such as Wat Si Saket and That Luang, which represent the country’s historic, spiritual and national heritage. Many of the handicraft centres and restaurants in the city work with the local community to ensure traditional values are not lost and we encourage our clients to visit such projects whilst in Vientiane. We particularly recommend the COPE Visitor Centre. This is an excellent initiative which highlights the much-overlooked plight of victims of unexploded ordnance from the heavy bombing campaigns during the Vietnam War.Vangvieng
This small town is set in some of the most striking scenery in Indochina and for years was a backpackers’ mecca. However, with a government initiative in place to clean up the town, Vangvieng is now appealing more to the discerning traveller and the stunning mountain backdrop makes it a worthwhile stop on the long drive between Luangprabang and the capital, Vientiane. Vangvieng offers a range of outdoor activities including boating, trekking and cycling. .jpg) |
