About

In the heart of Southeast Asia, Laos offers an array of experiences that are as varied as its landscapes. Luang Prabang, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a notable highlight. Here, the morning alms procession of saffron-clad monks is a serene spectacle, while the Kuang Si Waterfalls provide a refreshing escape just outside the city. The Mekong River, flowing through the country, is best experienced from the laid-back town of Vang Vieng, where limestone karsts frame the horizon and invite exploration by kayak or through secretive caves.
