Days 05 – 06 Design Your Days Luang Prabang

The pace here is laid back but with much to see plan your own way. Choose two of the following activities: take an invigorating walk up Phousi Hill to the temple at the top for breathtaking views over the Mekong and surrounding area; a day taking in a nearby hilltribe village, the Tat Sae waterfalls and time to meditate in one of the temples with a local monk; combine a private boat trip to the Pak Ou Caves and a local village specialising in the production of Lao rice whisky with temple visits in town; a chance to explore other significant temples, Wat Visoun and Xieng Thong, plus the colourful market and National Museum, housed in the former Royal Palace. Visiting a rural minority school nearby is a highlight; or to vary the programme visit a Khmu minority village, the Kuangsi waterfalls and the tomb of Henri Mouhot, best known for his discovery of Angkor Wat (B,L).
