Laos

The Land of a Million Elephants

Unhurried and genuine, Laos rewards travellers with golden temples, Mekong river life and lush mountain scenery.

Destination Overview

Laos is Southeast Asia’s most relaxed destination. Saffron-robed monks at dawn in Luang Prabang, the limestone karsts of Vang Vieng and the 4,000 islands of the southern Mekong create journeys full of calm and authenticity. It combines perfectly with Vietnam and Cambodia in multi-country programs.
