Itinerary idea in detail

Ask us if you would also like us to arrange your international flights at our preferred rates.

  • Arriving in Hanoi, you will be met and taken to your hotel. The rest of the day is spent at leisure relaxing after your flight.

  • This morning, transfer to the picturesque town of Mai Chau, where you will start to lose the regular tourist trail.

  • Today, take a full-day cycling tour among the limestone cliff faces and beautiful countryside, interacting with the local communities.

  • Today, you will drive over the border into Laos. Your Laos guide and driver will wait for you at the border to take you to Vieng Xai.

  • Explore the Vieng Xai caves today. So much history surrounds these caves involving the Indochine War, making it an interesting visit.

  • This morning, you will drive through the mountainous Nam Et-Phou Louey National Protected Area. You will spend the night in your tented ecolodge, cruising down the river and spotting many rare endangered species.

  • Rise early to finish your Nam Nern safari experience by trekking through the jungle with your guide. After lunch with the locals, take the four-hour journey to the sleepy town of Nong Khiaw.

  • This morning, you will experience the 100 Waterfalls Trek. It can be tough in parts, but the scenery will make the trek worthwhile.

  • Today, you will transfer to Luang Prabang, passing through luscious green mountains and jungle and stopping at the Pak Ou Caves on the way. On arrival, you will be taken to your hotel, where you will have the rest of the day at leisure.

  • Today you spend a half day with your guide discovering the magical temples and ancient crafts practised in this beautiful city in the mountains.

  • Rise early this morning to watch monks collecting alms in the old streets of central Luang Prabang. You’ll then head to the Kuang Si Waterfall, to relax and enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings.

  • Transfer to the airport this morning for your onward flight.
