What’s not to love about a Laos tour? One of Asia’s enchanting hidden gems, this peaceful inland nation boasts stunning natural beauty – lush green valleys are ensconced by forested mountains teeming with wildlife.

And at the heart of it all, lies the ancient cultural capital of Luang Prabang – where the delicate scent of frangipani sweetens the air, and red-roofed temples and colonial buildings vie for attention alongside bustling markets, busy ateliers and chic homestays. For the adventurous and the culture enthusiasts alike, Laos offers endless fascination.
