Greetings from Vientiane, Laos.

After checking in, take some time to relax in Vientiane, Laos’ capital. Your guide will give a tour briefing before a welcome meal at Friends Restaurant, Mini Makphet, which supports underprivileged youngsters.

Note: Entry into Laos requires both a passport and a visa. Additionally, your passport must still be valid for at least six months after the date of your entry into Laos. When you arrive in Laos, you can get a visa. Make sure you have two photos the size of a passport.

After breakfast, your driver and guide will pick you up to explore this quaint city further. Let’s begin with Vat Sisaket, the only temple that survived the 1828 Siamese invasion. Within its walls are hundreds of Buddha sculptures.

Proceed to Wat Prakeo, which is currently a religious museum showcasing artwork by Lao and Khmer artists. It was once home to the “Emerald Buddha,” which is currently exhibited in the Royal Palace in Bangkok.

Proceed to explore the renowned Pha That Luang, a shimmering golden stupa that is perhaps Laos’ most significant national monument.

Afternoon

After lunch, you will visit the Buddhist monastery of Wat Ong Tue and Wat Haysoke, as well as the Lao National Museum, a charming example of French Colonial architecture. You will also explore Wat Si Muang, a Khmer temple with a fascinating legend that holds great significance for the people of Laos.

Head over to the Talat Sao and Talat Kouadin Vientiane Central Markets, where a variety of main commodities are exchanged, including household items, fresh food, fabrics, gold, and silver. Perhaps there will even be antique trinkets on exhibit.

At the Patuxai Monument, also known as Anousavari, you may round off your day with a wide-angle perspective over the city. At the summit of Lan Xang Avenue, the Champs Elysees of the Lao capital, lies Vientiane’s own Arc de Triomphe.

You have the rest of the day to yourself. Take a leisurely stroll along the Mekong River’s shores and try the delicious foods and refreshing beverages at the riverbank stands if you’re feeling adventurous.

Morning

After breakfast, your guide will take you on a Tuk Tuk trip to an organic farm outside Vientiane. You can try rice farming at this traditional agricultural site run by a Lao non-governmental organization.

Upon arrival, friendly farmers will welcome you and guide you through a brief farm tour. You’ll change into farm attire and join the farmers in planting rice seedlings and preparing rice during harvest season. You can also enjoy a fishing excursion, gather fresh duck eggs, learn about organic fertilizer production, and pick in-season organic veggies and bamboo.

Afternoon

After saying your goodbyes, head back to your city accommodation. On the way, visit a nearby fresh food market to explore the diverse Lao cuisine. While there, enjoy a traditional Lao coffee or taste some delicious Lao delicacies.

After breakfast and hotel check-out, you will visit the COPE Visitor Center with your personal guide.

Upon arrival, your driver will take you to Wattay Airport for your flight to Oudomxay.

Morning

After breakfast, drive to two of Laos’ diverse ethnic villages: an Ikhos and an H’mong hamlet, over a stunning route that follows the Nam Pak River. Ascending to a height of 1,000 meters above sea level, your tour provides breathtaking vistas of the breathtaking mountain landscape.

The first place you’ll visit is an isolated Ikho settlement. The Ikho people, originally from Yunnan Province in China and Tibet, are a private group in Laos. In their mountainous communities, you’ll see wooden and bamboo homes and learn about their beliefs. The Ikho are known for using natural dyes from wild plants to color their clothing.

After seeing more of the H’mong hamlet, have a picnic lunch in a beautiful setting.

Afternoon

Return to your resort after lunch and enjoy the remainder of the day at your leisure.

Overnight at Muong La Resort

Morning

After checking out of the resort, your guide and driver will pick you up in the hotel lobby and take you to Luang Prabang. You’ll stop at the village of Ban Na Nyang known for its traditional cotton weaving. Families in the village create beautiful wall hangings, tablecloths, and scarves on weaving looms.

You will next visit the well-known Pak Ou caves, where hundreds of Buddha sculptures in all sizes and designs may be found. Two caverns can be reached by steps. Tham Ting, the lowest cave, has natural lighting. Tham Phum, the top cave, is easier to explore while being deeper.

Following your exploration of the caverns, you will take a 1.5-hour private boat ride down the Mekong River to Luang Prabang.

Afternoon

After lunch, check in at the Belmond La Residence Phou Vao, a peaceful hotel just five minutes away from the tranquil town of Luang Prabang. Set in a beautiful tropical garden with stunning mountain views.

Morning

Remember to charge your phone and camera for today’s Instagram-worthy vintage car tour in a UNESCO-protected town. Start your day at the bustling Morning Market, known for its live frogs, colorful veggies, and unique delicacies.

After leaving the bustling market, you’ll enter the quiet splendor of Wat Mai, one of the most ornate monasteries in the city, and go to the old King’s Palace, where you may learn about the past and present of Luang Prabang. Proceed next to the historic Wat Xieng Thong temple, which has a wonderful low arching roof. It’s the most recognizable and unique monastery in Luang Prabang.

Afternoon

You will visit the UXO Visitor’s Center after lunch, to gain a remarkable understanding of the terrible bombs that the Lao people had to experience and their ongoing impact. Although the UXO Center is a wonderful non-governmental organization that accomplishes outstanding work, it only briefly addresses this little-known problem.

Proceed to tour the 16th-century Wat Visoun temple, which is renowned for its massive stupa and antique gilded Buddha collection.

The Traditional Art and Ethnology Centre (TAEC) is Laos’s only resource center for the nation’s ethnic groups. Visit the Ock Pop Tock Living Craft Center, which produces high-quality textiles and offers free half-hour tours.
