Visit Laos

  • Lao monks

    The Baci ceremony in Laos is an important blessing in Buddhist culture and is used to celebrate any landmark event. A traditional ceremony hosted by a Lao monk will make your trip even more memorable.

  • Sunset over the Mekong

    There are few things in Southeast Asia that can beat a beer Lao as the sunsets over the Mekong - from the riverbanks in Luang Prabang to the 4000 islands, watching the world go by at sunset is a must.

  • The North

    The northern part of Laos is a remote region that sees few tourists. Heading north from the Thai border towards China, the town of Luang Nam Tha is the gateway to the Nam Ha National Park, with countless opportunities to explore on foot, by kayak and on mountain bikes. A little further south you will stumble upon the picturesque area of Muang La and the dramatic valley of Nong Khiaw before arriving by road or boat at the cultural centre of Luang Prabang.

  • Cruises, Sailing & Water
  • Culture & History

A private tour with your guide and driver around the 4000 Islands area, exploring this fascinating region by car and boat.

After an early morning breakfast, you head south by road and boat to Done Khone. Here you begin by re-tracing the French Colonial past at Ban Khone, where some old colonial houses still stand, and glimpse the first (and last) Lao railway with its own locomotive.

Continue your exploration of the area of the 4000 Islands leisurely by boat and visit the most beautiful Liphi waterfall, also known as the Samphamith, which forms a natural border between Lao and Cambodia.

Return to Ban Nakasang and drive to the famous waterfall of Khone Phapeng - the largest waterfall in South East Asia, also known as the 'Niagara of the east', though somewhat smaller than its namesake!

The whole day will give you a wonderful insight into this unique region and a chance to soak up the laid back atmosphere of this remote part of the world.
