Laos Tours & Travel

With Asia Travel Expert, Laos tours are customized to suit your travel needs, take your time to experience the whole country or focus on one region for an in-depth experience. Traveling from the south to the north with Laos package tours, one encounters sleepy islands, lush plateaus, the quirky capital, rolling green hills, temple filled cities, and colorful hill tribes. Landlocked Laos is one of those destinations that travelers never want to leave.

Tranquil Laos is Asia's hidden gem and despite a growing number of tourists discovering towns such as Luang Prabang and Vientiane, options for traveling in the country are expanding. With a day trip, Asia Travel Expert can introduce you to the wonders of the local culture or for a deeper understanding of this enchanting country, spend weeks traveling with us from north to south with Laos tours.

Time stands still in Luang Prabang. The spiritual capital of Laos is filled with dozens of temples and this tranquil atmosphere is enhanced by the town's colonial buildings and lush vegetation. The pace of life slows down dramatically in Luang Prabang and endless hours can be spent meandering through the small laneways and riverside paths. Excursions can be made to nearby craft villages, waterfalls, and elephant parks or travel by boat along the Mekong River for a different view of the city. With its rich culture and mesmerizing charm, Luang Prabang is an integral part of package tours to Laos.

Vientiane is one of the quietest capitals in the world and due to its sleepy vibe it makes the perfect first stop on Laos tours. Although slightly disheveled with dusty, potholed streets, the city offers many pleasant surprises for travelers with ancient temples filling the streets and cultural centers providing insight in to the traditions of the local people. Situated on the Mekong River, directly across from Thailand, the city warrants two or three full days of exploration and should also be included in any Laos tour packages.

Further afield, Northern Laos is home to the majority of Laos' ethnic minorities and is a trekker's paradise. The town of Luang Namtha is a popular starting point for adventure travel or for those wishing to see the fabulous scenery and exotic wildlife of the national parks. Laos tours including the towns of Muang Sing and Nam Ha National Park are ideal for those wishing to escape into Laos' wilderness.

In the southern part of the country, a wealth of natural wonders await - the cool highlands of the Bolavan Plateau, the 4000 Islands of the Siphandon region, and dozens of magnificent waterfalls. The dramatic Wat Phou - another highlight of the area - is one of the country's most revered religious sites set in the beautiful hills of Champassak. A boat cruise along this stretch of the Mekong is an unforgettable experience and for those wishing to visit Cambodia, the journey overland from Pakse south to the border is full of beauty and adventure. Whether visited as a part of intensive north to south Laos tours or as a short extension from Thailand or Cambodia, a trip to this region is a highlight of any journey to Asia.

Spending a few weeks in the laid-back atmosphere of Laos is sure to create a lifetime of memories.
