    Program description

    Upon arrival in Luang Prabang, the ancient capital of the Lanxang kingdom, you will receive a warm welcome from the local English-speaking guide. Afterward, you will check in at the hotel (with rooms available from 2:00 p.m.).

    Your first day in the city will include visits to:

    • The Royal Palace Museum, constructed in 1904 during the French colonial era for King Sisavang Vong and his family.
    • Wat Mai Temple, renowned for its exquisite golden bas-reliefs and considered one of the city's most beautiful temples.
    • A climb to the top of Mount Phousi for a delightful exploration of the sacred and golden stupa, offering panoramic sunset views of the city and the Mekong River.
    • In the late afternoon, you will participate in a Baci ceremony with a local family. The Baci ceremony is a traditional Laotian ritual that symbolizes the spirituality of the country and provides participants with a deep understanding of Lao culture.
    • The day will conclude with dinner at a local family's home.

    You will return to the town for the night in Luang Prabang. This marks the beginning of the Laos 7-day itinerary with Kampá Tour.

    After breakfast at the hotel, we will transfer directly to Kuang Si, the largest waterfall in the Luang Prabang area. The pools here are perfect for swimming and are highly popular among both tourists and locals. It is also possible to walk to the nearby village of Ban Thapene and explore the hidden waterfalls, which are rarely visited by other tourists. If you wish, you can take a short visit to the Bear Rescue Center, which houses several dozen animals rescued from the hands of poachers and traffickers.

    On the way back to Luang Prabang, we will make a short visit to the Ock Pop Tock Craft Center. Here, weavers, spinners, and batik makers produce premium-quality fabrics. Free tours are offered every half hour.

    You'll have a free evening to explore Luang Prabang.

    Option: Take a walk or bike ride through the city to observe the unique Laotian tradition of offering alms to monks on the roadside. Laos is the only Buddhist nation to preserve this ritual. Afterward, make a brief visit to the local morning market near the Royal Palace. At the market, you can find a variety of products, from rice and fresh vegetables to steamed fish, frogs, and the day's catch, all laid out on the ground – this is an integral part of the daily life of local people and provides a genuine taste of local culture.

    Following breakfast, embark on a leisurely cruise upstream along the Mekong River, offering picturesque views of the tranquil countryside.

    Arrive at the enigmatic Pak Ou Caves, a 16th-century cave monastery filled with thousands of Buddha images, situated 25 kilometers north of Luang Prabang within the limestone cliffs overlooking the Mekong.

    Return to Luang Prabang, with a stop along the way at Ban Muang Keo, a village renowned for its traditional Lao rice whiskey distillation.

    Next, visit Ban Xangkhong, the village of the Thai Lue people, known for their arts and crafts. You will also explore the neighboring village of Ban Xienglek, where traditional Saa paper is produced.

    Overnight in Luang Prabang.

    Following your hotel breakfast, your day begins with a visit to the Royal Palace Museum, housing a fascinating collection of artifacts. Our next destination is Wat Mai, a renowned temple featuring exquisite golden bas-reliefs, making it one of the town's most beautiful temples. Afterward, we will proceed to the train station for your journey to Vang Vieng. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to explore Tham Jang Cave.

    Afterward, we'll travel to Khmu Village, located just 10km north of Vang Vieng. Here, you'll receive training from experienced guides, and then we'll embark on our paddling adventure down the Nam Song River. We'll return to the hotel in the late afternoon.

    Begin your day with an early breakfast at the hotel, followed by a transfer to the train station for a short journey to Vientiane. Upon arrival, we will embark on an exploration of the capital's major attractions, starting with the ancient Wat Sisaket. On our way to visit Lao's national icon, the revered That Luang Stupa, we'll make a brief stop en route to capture some photos of the impressive Patuxay Monument. After the tour, we'll return to the hotel for some relaxation.

    A day dedicated to discovering the most remarkable cultural sites and historical monuments of Vientiane:

    • Ho Phrakeo - a former royal temple dating back to the time of the Lane Xang kingdom, now transformed into a national museum of sacred art.
    • The "Buddha Museum" at Vat Sisaket – the city's oldest temple, housing over ten thousand Buddha statues.
    • Buddha Park – an enchanting collection of Buddhist and Hindu sculptures located on the meadows of the Mekong River.

    After this exploration, you will be transferred to the airport for your departure flight.

    This marks the end of our 7-day trip in Laos! Thanks for choosing us, and save travels!

    Tubing and Kayaking in Nam Song River, Vang Vieng
    The Nam Song River flows through Vang Vieng, once famous for its wild tubing parties. In its heyday, thousands of young travelers flocked to the lively riverside bars daily. However, government intervention has since quieted the scene, reducing the number of bars and tubers. Today, Vang Vieng offers a more serene experience, though a few vibrant bars still nod to its party past.
