Vientiane is a sleepy town on the banks of the immense Mekong River. It's a great place to stroll through the tree-lined, somewhat disorderly streets, without feeling like you're in a capital. Although Vientiane is the Laotian capital, it feels more like a large town, and its missing a lot of the noise and chaos common in the cities. This module offers a relaxing start to your Laos tours and includes airport pick-up and two nights in a comfortable, centrally located hotel.

Many travellers consider Luang Prabang to be one of the most enjoyable locations in Laos, specifically due to its location on the banks of the legendary Mekong River, the Laotian hospitality and the friendly small streets. This Laos tour offers an introduction to this charming city, where monks dressed in orange robes are a common sight and Buddhist temples are on every street corner. Spend three nights in a small-scale hotel within walking distance from the centre of the city. Surrounded by green mountain passes and closed off by rivers, Luang Prabang offers hiking and biking opportunities in the city and throughout its wild natural environment.

We consider this module as one of our most special Laos tours. Hidden in the green heart of the jungle near Luang Prabang lies the Elephant Camp where you can walk a mile in the shoes of an elephant care taker. Help the Mahout wash your jumbo-sized friend and go on a few wobbly rides through the area surrounding the elephant camp on the back of an elephant. Hike over to the traditional villages of Hmong and Khmu, where you're bound to receive in an invitation for tea. Spend the night in a cosy bungalow with a view of the Nam Khan River.

Experience a genuine trek through (part of) Laos within a short distance from Luang Prabang. Hike past paddy-fields and on to an impressive mountainous area just north of the city. Your guide will answer any questions about the flora and fauna you encounter during your hike. On your arrival in the village, you're likely to be greeted by an entourage of enthusiastically waving children. Spend the night at the home of a very hospitable family in this traditional mountain village. At the end of this module you'll hike along and ride a boat on the Nam Khan River before ending up back in Luang Prabang.

The 'Plain of Jars' is one of the most unique attractions in Laos. This plain is strewn with stone bottles of unknown origin. Their presence on the plain adds a feeling of mystery to walks through this area. Fly from Vientiane to Phonsavan, a town located in the hill country in north-east Laos. Aside from a visit to the famous 'Plain of Jars', you'll also go on a short trek through the Phonsavan area. During your trek you'll visit several minority villages in this area and get to know their culture in a very special way. Afterwards you'll travel by bus to Luang Prabang (also possible in reverse).

In the heart of Boloven land, Southern Laos, lies an oasis of waterfalls plunging down between fresh green rainforest trees. The characteristic wooden cabins at the peaceful Eco lodge offer a spectacular view of 200 metre high twin waterfalls. This remote area amidst towering trees is an excellent starting point for hikes through all that foliage and refreshing waterfalls along the way.
