Visiting spots in Laos

1. Luang Prabang, Heart of Culture on the Journey

Luang Prabang is often the first town that makes tourists slow down.

Luang Prabang’s heritage and town is a melting pot of Buddhist monks places of worship, old style Lao buildings, European-style architecture, market places and the Mekong River. In addition to being a town with great charm, it gives one the option to visit nearby natural attractions with much ease.

You may have a vacation in Laos through:

• Old town walking tour
• Visiting ancient Buddhist temples
• Having a boat ride along Mekong River
• Going on market tours
• Experiencing Kuang Si Falls.
• Limestone peaks at viewpoints
• Gourmet dining experiences

To a large part, Luang Prabang fits into the itinerary of Indian tourists who would like to spend a culturally and picturesque oriented trip rather than a metropolitan kind of holiday.

2. Vang Vieng, The Mountain, River, and Adventure Destination

Vang Vieng presents another altogether a different type of atmosphere.

Nature at large is the main feature of Vang Vieng which is a town surrounded by limestone mountains and lush rural scenery. Besides river, it also has a number of cave complexes and has been gradually gaining reputation for adventure sports and tourism.

Activities to consider while you are there may be the following:

• Breathtaking views from limestone ridges

It’s worth noting that according, to a few recent travel guides, Indian visitors can conveniently include Vang Vieng in their Laos trip as it lies between Vientiane and Luang Prabang.

3. Vientiane, A Relaxed Capital Experience

Compared with the capitals of many major cities in Southeast Asia, Vientiane offers a more relaxed and low keyed capital city experience.

The city serves well for those travelers who are interested in visiting temples, monuments, local markets, the riverside areas but do not mind spending a few hours in doing it. There is no rush or feeling of being hurried here.

Vientiane’s sightseeing activities could cover the following:

• The sacred stupa of the Kingdom ‘Pha That Luang’

For a very short holiday, Vientiane is a place that you could use as your main base for a small Laos trip too.

Delhi travelers have the option of comparing flight routes with one layover or multiple layovers through the main airports of Southeast Asia. In such situations, besides the travel agency that arranges the ticket the hotel bookings and local transportation are coordinated by a travel consultant.

Travelling from Mumbai

Starting the journey from Mumbai is a very convenient way to an international Laos trip. According to the available airline options, connecting with Bangkok and other places of neighboring hubs could also be possible.

Travelling from Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad or other cities
