What To Expect

Wat Xiengthong

We will pick you up at 8:30 and take you to a small park on the peninsula tip. You will have a brief introduction to Luang Prabang, standing where the Nam Khan River meets the Mekong River. From there, walk to Wat Xieng Thong, the most revered temple in the country. Learn from your guide the typical architecture of the Luang Prabang style temples with their spectacular low sweeping roofs. Join local pilgrims for a glimpse into the daily Buddhist beliefs of the people.

1 hour • Admission Not Included

Royal Palace Museum

Next, we will go temple hopping in the neighborhood. At Wat Sene, where there is a school for novice monks, you may meet again with novice monks you met on the morning alms. Afterwards, we will visit the Royal Palace museum. It houses a lot of interesting historical items. Every item tells a story…so you will learn quite a lot from your guide about Lao history and about Laos’ royal.

Spectacular Tour of a Life Time

Our tour guide Ken guided us through an incredible itinerary of the best of Luang Prabang. This trip is a must-do with amazing history and culture stops with Temples markets and the Palace ( which sadly was closed the day of our tour) But Ken filled us with great stories and explanations of Lao history and was particularly knowledgeable about the temples and monks and religious history. The Buddha Caves / Pak Ou were unique. And for us the private sunset Mekong cruise was a sublime experience culminating with gorgeous water and mountain scenery. The river boats passing each other playing all different kinds of music and waving made it all the more special.
