Sacred tales in the mountains

suggested

A sense of the spiritual settles over Luang Prabang, hidden away in Laos’s northern hills like a votive offering. The country’s ancient former capital has long been a seat of Buddhist reverence, its streets littered with temples where monks seek alms in their striking, persimmon-colored robes. Adventure awaits in the surrounding jungle, home to waterfalls and ancient, hidden caves, though take time to linger over fresh coffee and French-style pastries, watching the waters of the Nam Khan meet the mighty Mekong. 

Your A&K Experiences: Immerse yourself in Luang Prabang’s rich history on guided tours with your dedicated A&K expert, rising at dawn for ceremonial alms-giving and market visits. Explore the Royal Palace Museum, Wat Xieng Thong’s stunning mosaics and Wat Khili’s unique monastic architecture, spending sunset atop the sacred Mount Phousi. Uncover local treasures at the Traditional Arts and Ethnology Center; explore the forest trails of Kuang Si Falls Park; and venture upriver to understand the traditions underpinning rural artisan and rice-growing communities.
