Chiang Mai to Luang Prabang Cycle Adventure
Challenging and unforgettable cycle tour through some of the most breathtaking and unexplored scenery in South East Asia.
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.
