Day1.
Arrival Luang Prabang
Upon arrival at
the airport, you are met and transferred to the hotel. Luang Prabang is
perhaps the best-preserved traditional city in Southeast Asia. The
tranquility and charm of this town with its splendid natural scenery and
cultural sights make it one of the most delightful places to visit in Laos.
After a short rest, we visit the impressive stupa of Wat Visoun and
the shrine of Wat Aham, Wat Mai; we then climb up to the top
of Phousi Mount for an enjoyable exploration of the sacred, gilded
stupa as well as a beautiful sunset view of the city and the Mekong River.
From there, we explore Street Night Bazaar, where you can find the
lovely collection and handmade textile by local and hill tribe people
surrounding Luang Prabang. Overnight in Luang Prabang.
Day2.
Luang Prabang - Pakou Cave
After breakfast,
we enjoy a short-guided tour seeing the citys oldest temple of Wat Sene and
the magnificent Wat Xiengthong with its roofs sweeping low to the ground,
which represent the classical architecture of Luang Prabang temple. We then
board a cruise upstream on the Mekong River, which also gives us a beautiful
view of the tranquil countryside as well as an interesting visit to the
mysterious of Pak Ou Caves, crammed with thousands of gold lacquered Buddha
statues of various shapes and sizes. Along the way, we stop at the village
of Ban Xanghai, where they make the distillation of local rice wine. On
return, we take a short drive to Ban Phanom, well known for its hand
weaving. Overnight in Luang Prabang. (B)
