Laos is home to the beautiful Mekong River; sure, to captivate you with her spellbinding views, a must-see sight to complete your journey to Laos.
Planning a cruise
The Mekong River flows serenely through the country blessing Laos with her beauty and world-famous grace. The best way to get the full Mekong experience is through a luxury Mekong River Cruise. You can sit back, relax and bathe in soothing sun rays as you glide through the calm waters.
Golden Triangle
Famously (and aptly) named Golden triangle is sure to bewitch you; it is surely the best place to start your cruise. You can get over your jet lag and relax because the waters are calm and relaxing all the way through to the heart of Laos. The Golden Triangle is the height of spirituality with beautiful temples and gilded statues and ancient structures. Many cruises start here such as the Luang Prabang Cruise from Mekong Kingdoms.
Vientiane to Pakse
Central Laos is often overlooked by visitors but consists of some of the most mesmerising landscapes in the country. Make sure to visit beautiful Tha Khaek and Savannakhet for the perfect uncharted exploration journey. The towns and less explored roads are all sheltered by beautiful mountains all around which is truly a secret paradise.
Si Phan Don
The Mekong reaches its widest point just south of Si Phan Don, opening a whole new landscape with waterfalls that fall into Cambodia. Beauty is in abundance here and if you thought Lao people were quite laid back, here you can experience something totally different with a vibrant and loud culture. Everywhere you can see white cascades of water and scenic mountain temples.
