Cover every corner of this beautiful country, gaining a sense of the 'real' Laos. This tour is highly active and fun with minimal driving times, making it perfect for families.

The tour starts in Luang Prabang and a thorough explanation of this fantastic, mysterious city. From here there is an incredible boat journey up to the much less visited north of the country and an unforgettable stay at Muang la Lodge.

You will fly from here to the capital, Vientiane, with its French colonial influences before going on down to Pakse and the beautiful 4000 Islands region. Since Laos is landlocked, the 4000 Islands re the nearest Laos gets to a relaxing beach which makes them an ideal place to finish.

The sheer depth and variety of scenery, people and wildlife in this itinerary, make it a brilliant option for anyone wanting to get under the skin of this extraordinary country. 

DAY 1 DEPART

Fly directly into Luang Prabang.

DAYs 2 & 3 Incredible Luang Prabang       Soak it in

Begin the exploration with a full-day tour of lovely Luang Prabang with its beautiful temples and distinctive architecture.

Explore the extraordinary local produce at the Phousi Market and the culture of the surrounding villages. The afternoon is free — overnight in Luang Prabang.

DAY 4 The Nam Ou      Journey UpRiver

Begin your boat adventure up the Nam Ou, enjoying the lush green forests and breathtaking scenery. Along the way, we stop to visit villages and the mysterious caves of Pak Ou. Reach your destination for the night, Nong Khiaw, in the late afternoon.

DAY 5 Nong Khiaw   Trekking & Explore

This morning we take a boat up to Muang Ngoi, a picturesque little fishing village an hour upstream from Nong Khiaw. We then trek to the Tham Kang and continue through rice paddy fields onto the Lao Loum village of Ban Na, which is only accessible by foot, thereby retaining much of its original character. We trek back to Muang Ngoi and return to Nong Khiaw by early evening.

DAYs 6 & 7 Muang La     Step away from the everyday

This morning we have time for a short walk to Tham Pha Thok, a limestone cave where villagers hid during the Indochina War. The caves offer a magnificent view of the surrounding countryside. We then get back on the road, this time heading north to Muang La, a picturesque village famous for its hot springs with a beautiful small resort.

Approaching by van and then on foot we visit the first minority village inhabited by the Hmong, who originate from the mountains of Tibet. We learn about their everyday way of life and, more specifically, the critical role of animals in the village. We also visit an old military camp, which is a harsh reminder of the immense suffering of the Lao people during the Vietnam war.

DAYs 8 & 9 Vientiane    Back to the present

Following a leisurely morning transfer to Udomxay for your flight to Vientiane.

After breakfast, explore Vientiane. It's a sleepy capital city by Asian standards and a lovely place to explore.

DAYs 10, & 11 The south   Pre-Angkorian Temples 

Transfer to the airport and fly to Pakse. On arrival at Pakse, you will be met and taken by road west into the Bolaven Plateau and the magnificent Tad Fan waterfall.

DAYs 12 & 13 the 4000 Islands   Rest and enjoy

Visit the pre-Angkorian ruins of Wat Phu, one of Southeast Asia's most dramatically situated temples. Continue your journey by long tail boat to Done Daeng, and home to La Folie Lodge where you have the rest of the day to relax or to explore the island.

After an early breakfast, we head south by road and boat to explore Done Khone and the area known as the 4000 islands.

DAY 14

After breakfast, you will be transferred back to Pakse for your onwards connections.
