6 days
Luang Prabang, Vientiane
Step into the quiet courtyards of Luang Prabang, follow the Mekong towards Pak Ou’s Buddha caves, and pause beside the turquoise cascades at Kuang Si. This six-day Laos tour pairs three nights in the heritage town with two in Vientiane, linked by an included domestic flight.
The contrast is part of the pleasure: gilded temple details and weaving traditions in the north, then the capital’s sacred sites, striking monuments and riverside free time. Airport transfers at the beginning and end make the two-city route straightforward to plan.

Visit Wat Visoun, Wat Aham and Wat Xieng Thong, then explore the former Royal Palace, now the National Museum, and Wat Mai. If an early morning appeals, ask your guide about respectful observation of alms giving before breakfast. Your free evening can be as simple as a stroll through the night market or time to rest.
Travel upstream by local boat to Pak Ou Caves, where Buddha images fill the sacred cave spaces. Back towards Luang Prabang, Ban Xang Khong offers an introduction to weaving. The afternoon continues to Kuang Si, with time on the waterfall paths and a look at the nearby bear-rescue centre. Lunch is included; river conditions and site access shape the local sequence.
Fly to Vientiane on Day 4 and settle in before a free evening. The next day brings together Wat Sisaket, Haw Phra Kaew, That Luang and Patuxay. At the COPE Visitor Centre, learn about the effects of unexploded ordnance and the organisation’s rehabilitation work. Continue to Buddha Park for its distinctive Buddhist and Hindu sculptures before returning to the city.
Five hotel nights, five breakfasts, two lunches and one welcome dinner form the base programme. One domestic flight from Luang Prabang to Vientiane, private road transport and local English-speaking guiding for the stated services are included. International flights, personal travel-document costs, other meals, drinks and optional activities are separate.
