Luang Prabang is a town that wakes early each day when, beginning
ever so faintly, the bells, gongs, and drums of local temples crescendo
around 5am to send Luang Prabang’s estimated 1,000 resident monks and
novices on their morning alms rounds.
Day 1. Arrival – Luang Prabang
Upon arrival at the airport, you are greeted and transferred to the
hotel. Luang Prabang 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. After a short rest, we visit the
impressive stupa of Wat Visoun and the shrine of Wat Aham, Wat Mai; 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. From there, we explore Street Night Market, where
you can find the lovely collection and handmade textile by local and
hill tribe people surrounding Luang Prabang. Overnight in Luang Prabang.
Day 2. Luang Prabang – Pak Ou cave (B)
After breakfast, we enjoy a short-guided tour seeing the city’s
oldest temple of Wat Sene and the magnificent Wat Xiengthong with its
roofs sweeping low to the ground, which represent the classical
architecture of Luang Prabang temple. We then board 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 distillation of local rice wine. On return,
we take a short drive to Ban Phanom, well known for its hand weaving.
Overnight in Luang Prabang.
Day 3. Luang Prabang – Departure (B)
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. After visiting
these sights in the morning, you will have free time for your own
exploration of the town and strolling around the shopping area. The
tour ends after your transfer to the airport for departure.
