This fun, family-friendly tour in one of Asia’s most beguiling destinations allows you to experience the capital, Vientiane, and enchanting Luang Prabang. Traditional welcome ceremonies, elephant treks, tuk-tuk touring and a stay in a rural ecolodge make this a fun tour for people of all ages!
Day 1: Enjoy a traditional ‘Baci’ welcome ceremony in Vientiane to bless the beginning of your journey. You will then visit magnificent Wat Pha That Luang and the Patuxai Monument.
Day 2: Fly to Luang Prabang and take a fun afternoon tuk-tuk tour of some of the city’s finest temples. The legacy of the European presence here – well-preserved French architecture and careful street planning – has blended delightfully with more than 30 gilded Buddhist temples to create a town rich in atmosphere and history. Climb Mt Phou Si to watch the sunset behind the surrounding mountains.
Day 3: Watch hundreds of robed orange monks collecting their morning alms - a magical sight. You will then travel to the beautiful Kuang Si falls for a swim and to see some tigers and bears cared for by a local wildlife sanctuary.
Day 4: Visit a local weaving village then spend the day travelling through verdant jungle scenery on the back of an elephant, just as Laotian kings once did.
Day 5: Transfer to the airport for your onward journey.
Inclusions: 4 nights accommodation with breakfast daily, 1 lunch, 1 dinner, transport including tuk-tuk ride in Luang Prabang, private touring, entrance fees, local English-speaking guide (N.B. your Luang Prabang guide will not accompany you to the elephant camp on day 4),
