1. Arrival – Luang Prabang (D)
Upon arrival at the
airport, you are met 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 La Resendence Hotel 5 *

2. Luang Prabang – Pak Ou cave (B,L,D)
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 La Resendence Hotel 5 *
