Day 1. Arrival Luang Prabang
Arrival
Luang Prabang, which is perhaps the
best-preserved traditional city in Southeast
Asia. The tranquility and charm of this town
with its splendid natural scenery and cultural
sights make it one of the most delightful places
to visit in Laos. On arrival, we visit the
impressive stupa of Wat Visoun and the shrine of
Wat Aham. We then climb up to the top of Phousi
Mount for an enjoyable exploration of the
sacred, gilded stupa as well as a beautiful
sunset view of the city and the Mekong River.
Overnight in Luang Prabang.
Day 2. Luang Prabang - Khouangsi Waterfalls (B,L)
This morning you may want to wake up early and
participate in the daily early morning ritual of
saffron-clad monks with their black Alms-giving
bowls being given offerings from the local
people, including the ubiquitous sticky rice.
The National Museum at the former Royal Palace,
which displays a lovely collection of the
artifacts reflecting the richness of Lao culture
dating from the days of the early kings right
through the last sovereign, and the Central
Market are not to be missed. We visit these
sights, today before we drive to Ban Hmong hill
tribe at Ban Nam Ouay, a lowland Lao at Ban Ou,
a village that boasts its cotton production and
Ban Thapene. We then spend the remainder of the
day at the beautiful Khouangsi Waterfalls. The
water tumbling over multi tiered limestone
formations into the cool and clear pool is ideal
for anyone seeking an enjoyable escape when the
heat becomes unbearable. Over in Luang Prabang.
Day 3. Luang Prabang – Pak Ou Cave – Pakbeng (B,L)
Heading out of the town, we take a cruise
upstream on the Mekong River which also gives us
a beautiful view of the tranquil countryside as
well as an interesting visit to the mysterious
of Pak Ou Caves, crammed with thousands of gold
lacquered Buddha statues of various shapes and
sizes. Along the way, we stop at the village of
Ban Xanghai, where they make the local rice
wine. We then continue our boat trip to the
riverside town of Pakbeng. Overnight in Pakbeng.
Day 4. Pakbeng – HoueiSay (B,L)
After breakfast, we visit the local market where
many hill tribe people converge from the
outlying valleys and hillsides to sell their
goods and buy provision. Upon leaving Pakbeng,
we re-embark on our boat for the second leg of
our journey toward HoueiSay, which is close to
the famous Golden Triangle. The cruise is long,
but the unequalled, rive rain scenery will make
for an interesting day. Overnight in HoueiSay.
Day 5. HoueiSay - Thailand (B)
The surrounding areas of HoueiSay are home to a
wide variety of ethnic minority groups. After an
enjoyable visit to the Lu hill tribe people at
Ban Namkeung, we take a short drive to the
border gate for Chiang Khong, Thai land, End the
tour at Lao-Thai border.
