Luang Prabang arrival / City tour (D)

Upon your arrival in Luang Prabang, you will be welcomed and transferred to your hotel.

Luang Prabang is a peaceful provincial town that retains its status as the spiritual capital of Laos. The road traffic is so calm that you can see monks in their orange robes walking through the city, sheltering from the sun under their umbrellas.

Luang Prabang has been designated by UNESCO as "the best-preserved city in Southeast Asia".

The city tour will begin with a visit to Wat Visoun and its famous watermelon-shaped stupa, which gave it its name. This temple was destroyed in 1887 by the Black Flags from China and restored in 1930 by Buddhist monks and locals.

You will also visit Wat Aham where you will discover the spirit of the two guardians of Luang Prabang.

Continue your tour with Wat Mai.

You will continue your quest with Mount Phousi located in the center of the city.

Climb the 328 steps that will lead you to the top of the hill where a splendid view of the Mekong, the Nam Khan, the surrounding mountains and the city will reward your efforts. Sunsets are breathtaking when the sun casts all its colors on the wild landscape of Luang Prabang. Descend the steps on the other side of the hill and stroll through the stalls of the very colorful night market.

Every evening, ethnic minorities gather along the main street to sell their local produce. The calm and peaceful atmosphere of the evenings and the subdued lights of the stalls give a magical character to this market where it is pleasant to hunt for souvenirs.

Lunch and dinner in a local restaurant. Overnight in Luang Prabang.

We continue our trek to Ban Nong Haew, located high on the mountain where we will also visit the villages of the Khmou and H'mong mountain tribes to reach the heavenly Kouangsi waterfall.

The water cascades over several levels in limestone formations that form pools of fresh turquoise and crystalline water.

Surrounded by lush forests, it is the ideal place for anyone looking for a pleasant escape when the heat becomes unbearable.

You can take a refreshing swim or take a walk in the untouched forests.

Your guide will also be there to encourage you to try new flavors.
