Overview

This multi desination tour combines the historical city of Luang Prabang, the Plain of Jars site at Xieng khouang and the pleasant capital of Vientiane. Although a small country, Laos is rich with attractions, culture and mystery. Laos preserves its unique heritage, the tradition of the daily procession of the offerings of alms to nearly 200 monks at dawn in Luang Prabang, is an attraction in itself. The Ancient Plain of Jars and bizarre Buddha Park are intriguing sites; their functions and origins remain mysteries.
