Laos Holidays

Affectionately known as the land of a million elephants, Laos is a land of rural villages, ancient temples, raging rivers and rugged, forest clad mountains that will fascinate and delight you.

Vientiane is the country’s relaxed capital city with tree lined boulevards, trendy cafes and open air restaurants that line the Mekong River. Luang Prabang is the former royal capital and under UNESCO protection, retains much of its original charm. The surrounding countryside offers picturesque waterfalls, traditional villages and sacred sites such as the Pak Ou Caves.
