Unforgettable time when joining Laos culture 9 days tour

Laos was known as land of a million elephants and is famous for its green plateaus, plains, beauty and glamour. Your first stay is in the ancient Luang Prabang which was the capital of Laos and is located in the valley between two mountain ranges with vast green primeval forest mixed with new planted forest. Here, houses and temples were built centuries ago and are preserved virtually intact. Because of its ancient beauty, peaceful space, Luang-states is called “the city of nap”.

And you certainly cannot skip visiting today capital of Laos which is Vientiane. You will visit the Triumphal Arch (victory monument) which was built in the mid-nineteenth century to honor Lao soldiers in the war against the French. Also, visit Prakeo (the original home of the emerald Buddha), Wat Sisaket (the house of thousand Buddha images) or Prathatluang stupa (the stupa is keeping the relic of Lord Buddha). Finish your discovering Laos in Pakse. Like Luang Prabang, it combines beautiful colonial buildings, golden temples and a scenic riverside location, without the trappings of mass tourism — there’s no night market here, no tourist restaurants, no elderly European tourist coach parties. Just a very friendly, laidback atmosphere and, on the riverfront, a surprisingly vibrant nightlife, with the riverbank lined with great restaurants and beer gardens, where Pakse’s young locals gather to swill vast quantities of Beer Lao and listen to live bands. Laos is totally the ideal destination for those who are passionate to explore new lands.
