About this trip
Ten days across Laos, moving from the temples and old palace of Luang Prabang through the rivers and caves of Vang Vieng to the calm streets of Vientiane, finishing in the waterfalls and villages around Pakse.
It's an easy-paced trip built around history and scenery rather than nightlife, with a mix of guided visits and free time to explore each place at your own speed.
Good for families or those wanting a gentler introduction to Laos, taking in both its temples and its landscapes without rushing between them.
What you'll do
- Visit the ornate Buddhist temples and former Royal Palace in Luang Prabang
- See the Khuang Si waterfalls
- Take a boat ride through Vang Vieng's river scenery
- Explore the caves around Vang Vieng
- Wander the quiet streets of Vientiane
- Discover the waterfalls and villages of Pakse
- Partially guided, so some days include free time to explore on your own
- Easy pace, suited to families or those who prefer a relaxed itinerary
- Private trip, so it runs on your own schedule rather than with a fixed group
Worth it if you value authentic temples, relaxed pacing, and reliable organisation. Think twice if you're sensitive to long, bumpy road journeys.
- Guides consistently excellent across multiple reviews; Mr Thang responsive and flexible with last-minute schedule changes.
- Relaxed pace with genuine downtime suits mixed-age groups; Mekong dinner cruise and sunset boat rides genuinely highlight-worthy.
- Luang Prabang to Plain of Jars drive is long, winding, bumpy; motion sickness precautions not mentioned upfront.
- Hotel upgrades available as paid supplements; standard rooms not flagged, so clarify accommodation tier when booking.
