If your desire is to tread a path that is less traveled then this charming country is the holiday destination for you. You will find genuinely warm and friendly people, fabulous sightseeing, and outstanding local cuisine. This is one of the few places on earth that does not disappoint, Laos is a sleepy laid back country easy to explore yet difficult to leave. Laos is one of the least populated countries in South East Asia and for many years was hardly visited by travellers.
The country today offers a genuinely rewarding holiday experience with its rich mix of traditions and awesome landscape. One of the safest countries in the area, Laos holds many treasures and is closely connected to Thailand in its religion, cuisine and language. Luang Prabang is the cultural and religious capital of Laos, and was also the Royal capital until 1975. In 1995, UNESCO made Luang Prabang a world heritage city to try and preserve the old French Indo-Chinese architecture. This move has also helped preserve the ancient traditions and trades which make Laos unique. top destinations in Laos
Why Mekong Cruising? In such a vast country with secluded villages and virtually undeveloped infrastructure, the natural waterways became the main source of transportation. The Mekong River has first and foremost been a means of transportation for the country's inhabitants, but gaining steady popularity as a tourist attraction. Apart from major cities such as the capital Vientiane and the World Heritage Site of Luang Prabang, traveling on the Mekong River will allow you to catch glimpses of a different side of Laos. Stretches of the Mekong River are lined with giant bamboo trees and primary growth forests. See pristine environments and sail past spectacular limestone gorges, sugarloaf peaks and lush green hills. Enjoy S.E. Asian and European cuisine prepared for you by the suberb on board chef. Breakfast and lunch are buffet style while dinner is a sit down affair. Enjoy a cocktail mixed by your attentive bartender while you take in the fascinating scenery floating by.
