between the Nam Khan and Mekong rivers. Join us on this half day city tour by bicycle, visiting Wat Visun, Wat Aham, the beautiful Wat Xieng Thong.

Day 03 Luang Prabang

Starting from Luang Prabang we drive out into the close by valley south east of Luang Prabang. Arriving at the Long Lao village we start our hiking tour. We start this tour with exploring the life and culture of the village where Khamu and Hmong people live. The trail leads than passing some fields and vegetable gardens before reaching the forested mountains with quite wild sceneries and steeper climbs. After a stretch of forest hiking (slippery in wet season) we will explore an interesting cave. During the Second Indochina War people say it helped the local people as a bomb shelter!
The early afternoon, we then arrive at the crystal-clear water of just one of the springs that feed the famous Kuang Si waterfall, lunch by the waterfall (no drinks). The last short walk brings us down the steep waterfall where we have time for a relaxing swim. In the Kuang Si waterfall sanctuary you can see bears living in their project area. An NGO helps to set up proper care and areas to keep the animals. In the afternoon, we return to Luang Prabang. Dinner on own arrangement.

Day 04 Luang Prabang

After breakfast, we will embark for a boat cruise on the majestic Mekong river. We will stop to visit the holly Tam Ting Caves (also called the Pak Ou caves), where the Nam Ou river meets the Mekong. This is a site of ancient spiritual significance. It was here, during the 15th century, that the animistic religions were peacefully united with Buddhism. Within the two caves of Tam Ting are stupas, shrines, and carvings of Buddha. Over 4,000 wooden figures of Buddha, many highly ornate, stand within the
natural limestone caves, testament to the skill of Lao craftsmen centuries ago. Continuing along the river, we will visit some local villages: Ban Xang Hai where you can see rice whisky (Lou Lao) being distilled and taste the local products. Lunch on own arrangement. A hands-on opportunity to cook your own Lao feast. You will prepare three Lao dishes plus of course the Lao staple of sticky rice, then sit down to a banquet of the dishes you cooked, and more!

Day 05 Luang Prabang - Vang Vieng

Early morning 5:30am you can assist to the ritual of the “Tak Bat”, practice of offering food to monks. The monks leave the monasteries early in the morning, walking in a single file, oldest first, carrying their alms bowls in front of them. Laypeople wait for them, sometimes kneeling, and place food, flowers or incense sticks in the bowls.
Leaving Luang Prabang, we'll drive up into the amazing mountains of north-central Lao PDR, where we will visit Hmong villages. The Hmong are an ethnic group from the mountainous regions of Lao PDR. Hmong people began a gradual southward migration in the 18th century due to political unrest and a lack of arable land. We'll end our journey at the small city of Vang Vieng, tucked in amongst giant limestone cliffs. This is an area of immense natural beauty, with the small Nan Song River passing through the shadows of the dramatic mountains. All meals on own arrangement.

Day 06 Vang Vieng

We will be transferred from Vang Vieng to the Khmu village of Vieng Samay, about 10 km north of Vang Vieng. After an introduction to the basics of kayaking, the Nam Song offers various small but fun rapids on the way to the first stop at the cave of Tham Nam Thaem. This cave cuts straight through the mountain, so one emerges on the other side of the range for some panoramic views of the Nam Kouang valley. A trek back over a small pass leads up to a Lao style picnic lunch on the riverside (no drinks). The next paddle stop is at the Organic Farm, where mulberry tea and a variety of fruit wines are produced. The Tham Non Cave lies further downstream. As one of the biggest caves in Vang Vieng, it served as a rescue shelter for the villagers during the Second Indochina War. Today it is home to a bat colony and 'The Magic Stone of Vang Vieng'. The final leg is a gentle paddle - before returning to Vang Vieng in time to catch the sunset from the terrace of the Ban Sabai Riverside Bungalows. Dinner on own arrangement.

Approximately: 15 minutes’ transfer / 4 hours kayaking / 1 hour caving / 1 hour hiking

Day 07 Vang Vieng - Vientiane

Today will drive south to Vientiane, the capital and largest city of Laos, situated along the Mekong river. Vientiane became the capital in 1563 due to fears of a Burmese invasion. During French rule, Vientiane was the administrative capital and due to economic growth in recent times, it has become the economic center of Laos. A tour will take you to discover the charms of Vientiane, a quiet but endearing capital city. Our tour begins with Wat Sisaket, which was built in the Siamese style of Buddhist architecture, rather than the Lao style, and thus has a surrounding terrace and an ornate five-tiered roof. Wat Sisaket features a cloister wall with more than 2000 ceramic and silver Buddha
images. Next, we’ll visit Wat Phra Kaew, built between 1565 and 1556. Wat Phra Kaew was the former home of the Emerald Buddha, which now resides in Wat Phra Keaw in Bangkok. The temple has been destroyed several times. The current structure was rebuilt for the third time by the French in the 1920's. We will move on to the famous sacred That Luang Stupa, a gold-covered Buddhist stupa initially established in the 3rd century. The That Luang Stupa is the most important national monument in Lao
PDR and a national symbol. Then it’s on to the imposing Phatuxay Monument, “Victory Gate” or “Gate of Triumph” which is dedicated to those who fought in the struggle for independence from France. Our journey will end with a visit to the Talat Sao (Morning Market), where you can find an abundance of locally made handicrafts.
