Luang Prabang arrival
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.
Luang Prabang - Kuang Si Waterfalls
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.
Luang Prabang - Pak Ou Caves
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.
Luang Prabang – Vang Vieng by Train
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.
Vang Vieng – Kayaking - Tham Pou Kham 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.
Vang Vieng - Vientiane by train
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.
Vientiane departure
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.

Alain and friends - Australia
April 11, 2025 - Hello Madame Do,
Our return to Sydney went smoothly.
The temperature shock was brutal with a 25-degree drop, and we are slowly readjusting to the Australian time zone.
We will definitely recommend your agency to our friends and, in agreement with our daughter, we will post a glowing review online.
We would like to once again thank you for the flawless organization of our trip—not only for the variety of visits, but also for the competence of the guides, who shared with us their knowledge of the places, customs, and local life close to the people, as well as the drivers, who were all very careful, calm, and attentive.
Thank you also for accommodating the last-minute change so that my wife could reconnect with her roots in Ha Giang, where her father lived and worked until 1962—a very emotional moment.
On that note, we will send you a transfer of 45 AUD (approximately 28 euros or 30 USD) on Tuesday to cover the additional costs incurred.
We were very touche

March 11, 2025 - Hello,
It has already been two weeks since we left your beautiful country, but we continued traveling after that and just returned today. That's why I haven't written to you earlier.
I just filled out the review following the links you sent me.
We really enjoyed the trip you organized for us. It was very informative, interesting, pleasant, and comfortable for people of our age.
The drivers were great, especially the one who took us to Siem Reap. Heang is excellent, thoughtful, smiling, and speaks some English.
The guides are very knowledgeable and all of them were really interesting and attentive to our interests. We especially enjoyed Inthasone, the lady who made us appreciate Laos, and Mr. Nam with whom we discovered rural life. Two charming and humorous people! But they were all impeccable! I thank and congratulate them.
The hotels were always well-located and comfortable.
A big thank you for the flawless organization and follow-up of our trip! I wish y

January 04, 2025 - Good morning, Mrs. Thuy Do,
We finally found the time to write to you and share our travel experience.
A huge THANK YOU for this magnificent trip that was absolutely flawless!
Everything was perfect: from the hotels you selected for us to the drivers and guides (Thai, Dzung, and Anh), who were wonderful and accompanied us throughout. And, of course, the fabulous itinerary you organized for us, allowing us to discover incredible wonders, including the rice terraces in the north, the lantern-filled city of Hoi An in the center, as well as Ninh Binh and Halong Bay.
You and the guides and drivers who joined us contributed immensely to making our trip an unforgettable moment of happiness.
We returned home with great sadness at leaving your beautiful country, as well as the smiles and kindness of its people.
Thank you again for your professionalism, availability, kindness, warmth, the welcome at your agency, and your smiles.
We can’t wait to come back—and

December 30, 2024 - Dear Nhung,
A huge THANK YOU for organizing our trip, which was flawless. And yet, we gave you so much work!
First, in crafting the itinerary, custom-tailored to include our requested visits. You contacted me several times on WhatsApp, and in the end, the itinerary suited us perfectly and fit within the budget we had set. Thank you, Nhung, for your availability, attentiveness, and patience.
Then, unfortunately, we had to test your skills and professionalism when, one day before departure, my wife had a sinus infection requiring emergency surgery. We were initially supposed to travel as a group of three—my sister, my wife, and me. Given how well-prepared the trip was, I asked my sister to go ahead. Three days after the surgery, which went very well, I decided to join my sister and pick up the itinerary mid-trip (a week later) from Ha Long Bay. Nhung was amazing and remarkably efficient. She canceled my wife's arrangements and organized my transfer to the Ha

December 12, 2024 - Dear NHUNG,
A huge THANK YOU for organizing our trip, which was flawless. How much work you must have had to do for us!
First, for creating a custom itinerary, taking into account our requests for visits. To do this, you contacted me several times on WhatsApp, and in the end, the tour was perfect and fit within our budget. Thank you, Nhung, for your availability, your listening, and your patience.
Then, unfortunately, we had to test, quite against our will, your competence and professionalism when, one day before departure, my husband developed a sinus infection requiring urgent surgery. We were leaving as three—my brother and us. We had prepared the trip so well that I asked my brother to go ahead. Three days later, after the surgery went very well, I decided to join my brother and take the tour from Halong Bay (one week later). Nhung was amazing and incredibly efficient. She canceled my husband’s personal bookings and took care of my transfer to the Halon

November 25, 2024 - Hello Nhung,
What a wonderful surprise this palace in Sapa is once again.
We deeply appreciate the tranquility and relaxation of this sumptuous and luxurious establishment: it's a perfect retreat after the bustling days we’ve had since our arrival.
What magnificent discoveries we’ve had in the program you organized for us.
Incredible landscapes and settings, remarkable encounters, and extraordinary people everywhere in the local life. The guides were all different but so passionate and engaging (little Linh, so endearing, Hang, and Sam, so dedicated and professional). The drivers were experienced (especially Cuong in the North, who is our favorite: so kind and attentive… and an expert at navigating the mountain roads to keep us safe).

November 15, 2024 - Dear Nhung,
I finally find the time to write to you and share the impressions that our journey to Vietnam left on us.
Beyond the wonderful memories of the 23 days we spent in Vietnam, there is a particular aspect of this trip that I wish to share with you.
My wife and I have traveled fairly extensively. Not as much as we would have liked, but over the years, we have had the opportunity to visit several countries and have learned to organize our trips quite competently and independently. We have never participated in an organized tour and have always chosen our destinations, itineraries, and experiences based on our readings about the countries we visit and our personal tastes and interests. For Vietnam, our starting point was the same, and you may recall that to define our itinerary, we initially sent you a very precise and detailed travel plan.

October 20, 2024 - Good evening Mrs. Trang,
We have returned home and resumed work, though with a bit of nostalgia after discovering your beautiful country.
We had an excellent trip; everything was just as planned. Our guide Thien made the stay very enjoyable by scheduling visits during less crowded times. Always kind, cheerful, and speaking excellent English, he shared his knowledge and the great cultural richness of his country. He always gave us great advice. Thank you also to Mr. Long for his careful driving and kindness.
In Cambodia, Mr. Tra (short for his name) also adapted the visit itinerary to less crowded times. He added a temple visit and the visit to the Angkor Scent Workshop. We ended up visiting the floating village of Kampong Phuck, which was closer than the one originally planned, and there weren't too many people yet. This allowed us to visit a local market as well.
Just for your information, it’s necessary to complete the e-Arrival form for Cambodia in add
