Day1.
Arrival - Vientiane - Luang Prabang (B/-/-)
Upon arrival, you are met and transferred to central capital or orientation
tour,{ if time permitting} then transfer to airport for a short flight to
Luang Prabang,
which 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 checking into hotel, 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.

Luang Prabang
Day2. Luang
Prabang - Pakou - Luang Prabang (B/-/-)
This
morning you may want to wake up early and participate in the daily early
morning ritual of saffron-clad monks with their black Alms-giving bowls
being given offerings from the local people, including the ubiquitous sticky
rice. Today, 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 embark on 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 local rice wine. On return, we take a
short drive to Ban Phanom, well known for its hand weaving. Overnight in
Luang Prabang.
Day3. Luang
Prabang – Vientiane (B/-/-)
The National Museum at the former Royal Palace, which displays a lovely
collection of the artifacts reflecting the richness of
Laos
culture dating from the days of the
early kings right through the last sovereign, and the Central Market are not
to be missed. We visit these sights, this morning before we catch a flight
back to Vientiane. Upon arrival, we see the major temples including the
oldest Wat Sisaket, a temple of thousands of miniature Buddha statues and
the former royal temple of Wat Prakeo previously housed the famous Emerald
Buddha Image. On the way to the famous, sacred structure of That Luang Stupa,
we stop to take some pictures of the imposing Patuxay Monument, which is
Vientiane’s own Arc de Triumph, sunset by
Mekong
Riverside and late evening. Overnight
in Vientiane.
Day4. Vientiane
