One of the most exciting emergent destinations in south east Asia, Laos is a place where time passes slowly, so prepare for a relaxed attitude to sightseeing and travel. Even the capital, Vientiane is laid back, almost as much as the sleepy temples and beautiful countryside.
Luang Prabang is one of the most enchanting towns you will encounter, though it is firmly on the tourist map now.
A few hours north, you can get immersed in the local culture, enjoy a welcoming home stay, and help build a classroom in the fledgling school.
Testimonial
"Being quite small, Laos was the perfect add-on to our Cambodia trip. We had a wonderful taster of the country, focusing on Luang Prabang and surrounds: it is a spellbinding town, with a gorgeous river running through it, which we did trips along. Monks everywhere in bright orange robes are an enchanting sight - so friendly too! The kids loved seeing them receiving the alms from the locals, despite how early it was! The mountain biking day-trip was spectacular too. We will be back to explore it all in more depth."
