Luxury Luang Prabang Tours made for you
Explore this culturally rich, mountainous escape
The UNESCO former capital city, rich in heritage and natural beauty
Deep in the centre of Laos, the former capital city of Luang Prabang boasts UNESCO World Heritage status thanks to its vividly coloured temples, rich heritage and is also surrounded by a mountainous landscape filled with cascading waterfalls and caves ready to explore.
The city itself is a shimmering patchwork of golden temple roofs, burnt orange monks’ robes and teak-bordered French-colonial architecture. Wander down the busy streets and discover the ancient monasteries, hunt for bargains in the night markets and cycle throughout the area, from the old quarter to the rugged mountains beyond the city limits.
As the countryside surrounding the city offers a large menu of active pursuits; visit various waterfalls such as Kuang Si and Tad Sae. These don’t have the biggest descents, but instead meander through multiple, step-like pools, many of which you can bathe in. Or venture into the depths of the Pak Ou Cave system, trek along the forest-shrouded Tiger Trails and kayak along the winding waterways.

A word from one of our experts
Tranquil Luang Prabang is set on the banks of the Mekong River. I recommend visiting its gilded, picturesque Buddhist temples and rising early to witness the daily procession of saffron-clad monks collecting alms from the local residents.

When to visit
Although this is a year-round destination, the best time to visit Laos is during the months of November to April. This period offers warm days and cool nights along with clear skies and lower humidity, making it ideal for exploring the country’s natural beauty and engaging in outdoor activities. The temperatures are generally mild, although cooler in the northern regions, making it comfortable for sightseeing and trekking.
