Overview

Trekking is an excellent way of seeing the stunningly beautiful panoramas of the charming city Luang Prabang. This city can be easily be explored on foot visiting the major sites of this once royal capital and descending to the top of Mount Phousi provides a fantastic view of the city. The trekking is at a moderate level and we even enjoy a traditional boat journey to Muang Khai where we trek over mountain paths to explore some hill tribe villages, and cool off from the heat by splashing into the turquoise pools of the Khoungsi Waterfalls. Our adventurous trekking tour is a fun and enjoyable way to experience Luang Prabang.

Day 1 – Short Luang Prabang Adventure Trekking Tour: Arrival – Luang Prabang Sightseeing Tour

On arrival at Luang Prabang airport, you will be met and transferred to the hotel by our driver and guide. Luang Prabang is perhaps the best-preserved traditional city in Southeast Asia. The tranquility and charm of this town with its splendid natural scenery and cultural sights make it one of the most delightful places to visit in Laos.

After a short rest, we begin sightseeing by visiting the impressive stupa of Wat Visoun and the shrines of Wat Aham and Wat Mai. We enjoy a short-guided tour seeing the city’s oldest temple of Wat Sene and the magnificent Wat Xiengthong temple with its low sweeping roofs; representing classical architecture of Luang Prabang. We ascent to the top of Mount Phousi for an enjoyable exploration of the sacred, gilded stupa as well as enjoy a beautiful sunset view of the city and its glowing reflection on the Mekong River.
