IT'S ALL ABOUT<span class="indend">THE EXPERIENCE</span>

IT'S ALL ABOUTTHE EXPERIENCE

IT'S ALL ABOUT<span class="indend">THE EXPERIENCE</span>

Mostly away from the usual tourist trail, Laos offers the opportunity for genuinely authentic experiences, replete with charming people, fascinating culture, and a jaw-dropping landscape. Whether it’s exploring the hidden nooks around Luang Prabang or seemingly going back in time as you cycle through the Mekong’s 4,000 islands,  we can help you get into the heart of this magical country.

Locals claim that Laos PDR stands for “Lao People Don’t Rush” and our experiences always fit into that sedate way of life. With slow exploration, our experiences are privately guided and always ethical to the local customs, culture and environment.

OUR SIGNATURE EXPERIENCES - A SNEAK PEEK

At ETG, our exclusive signature experiences will allow you to step away from your every day and feel like a genuine traveller. Below is a selection of our favourite signature experiences, that have been curated by our local partners and us so that you can maximise your time in Laos. They will ensure you visit the main sites at the best time while highlighting parts of the country that you would otherwise not see.

Trails of 4000 islands

Trails of 4000 islands

Get off-the-beaten-track in the 4,000 islands, hopping through parts of the region that retain their traditional and very sedate way of life. Travel by ‘ferry’ from island to island and cycle through quiet paddy fields and scenic landscapes, join villagers as they make rice baskets and share a home-cooked lunch with a local family.

An evening game of petanque

An evening game of petanque

Share a game of petanque with your guide. This popular past time in Laos is a remnant of French colonial times and a great way to soak up the local culture. Combine with a 'Sindat' or Lao BBQ restaurant and a Lao beer, and you’ve got the perfect evening.

Kapoen Noodles from Farm to Table

Kapoen Noodles from Farm to Table

30 mins outside Luang Prabang you can learn about typical crops on a family farm. Help the farmer at the organic vegetable gardens and learn how to process Sticky Rice into typical Laos noodles called kapoen. End the morning tasting the fruits of your labour for lunch,

THE RECIPE FOR ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME LAOS EXPERIENCES

Slow Transport

Take a boat journey, grab a bike or roam on foot. Slow transport that allows you to soak up spectacular mountains, waterways and remote valleys, is the best way to unlock Laos.

Social Enterprises

Social enterprise experiences are not only brilliant fun but help support local businesses. Visit the Laos Buffalo Dairy to learn their amazing story or have lunch at Khaiphaen, a restaurant serving delicious food and providing vocational training for former street children.

Laos Alone

Visit Laos in its own right rather than pack it into a whirlwind tour of Indochina. There is much to see from north to south and instead of leaving for a beach destination, visit the 4000 Islands in the south - incredibly varied scenery in a compact area.

Hotels to remember

The accommodation in Laos can be truly spectacular when you know where to look. Whether it’s the former residence of a Prince, a luxury tented camp or a simple riverside lodge, we’ll make sure you have stays to remember (for all the right reasons!).
