Laos

The sights, smells and tastes of Laos are likely to stay with you long after you leave. Glide along the River Mekong, perhaps stopping off at the Pak Ou Caves on the way, marvel at the Buddhist temples of Louang Phabang or explore the wild and beautiful hills to the north.

On the Xieng Khouang plain, the Jar sites – groups of ancient funeral urns – are an endless source of mystery and myth. In other rural areas, country folk can be seen weaving colourful cloth, often with a design unique to their group.

Sampling the food, flavoured as it is with lemon grass, lime and other spices, is a highlight worth experiencing over and over. Don’t be surprised if one visit to Laos isn’t enough.
