An early start in Luang Prabang is rewarded with the colourful sight of hundreds of saffron-robed Buddhist monks in a peaceful and spiritual procession through the sleepy streets of the city. This daily morning ritual known as ‘Tak Bat’ in which kneeling locals give out alms to the monks, such as handfuls of rice, fruit and traditional snacks, is a timeless tradition that dates back to the 14th century.
Your guide will talk you through the significance of the offerings and you can also participate in this ancient Lao tradition yourself. Alternatively, you can simply stand back and admire the scene of the procession of monks as they pass through the streets with the backdrop of ancient, ornate temples and French and Indochinese architecture.
You can include this experience as part of an Experience Travel Group holiday designed exclusively with you.

Customer Feedback
Matt really listened to what we were looking for and our itinerary was a joint project making good use of his knowledge and experience. We were really impressed by how well most of the hotels and guides were integrated into their local communities and were particularly impressed by Pong who guided us in the north of Laos. He really went the extra mile to help us meet and talk with local people and he was clearly well known and liked in the villages we went to!
