Tour Program

Detailed itinerary:

At 8.00am, meeting our tour guide and driver at hotel in Luang Prabang. Then transfer to a pier in Mekong Delta for cruising up the River.

Taking a local boat cruise is probably one of the most rewarding ways to discover the life along the rivers. When you cruise along, observe the daily activities of fishermen, how they throw their nets in an elegant arm gestures, and rely on the water for their livelihood. For the villages settled along the Mekong, the River plays an important role in their daily life and usually represents the only means of transportation and commerce.

After two hours cruising upstream from Luang Prabang, we get off the boat to visit the famous Pak Ou Caves.

Locally called Tam Ting, the caves are filled with thousands of gold-lacquered Buddha statues. The statues range in size from a few centimeters tall to the height of a human and are crammed into the cave which is nestled in a limestone cliff. The caves are a destination for local pilgrimages.

In the afternoon, visit Kuang Si Waterfall. Along the way, visit some villages of the various ethnic minorities of the area. Upon reaching the falls, relax and enjoy the scenery, and if the weather is good, you can enjoy a swim in the cool, clear waters.
