Drift lazily along the Nam Song River in Vang Vieng and travel back in time to Wat Phou, the lesser-known cousin of Angkor Wat. Then enjoy the laid-back vibes of Huay Xai before flying home.

Planning a Trip to Laos: Essential Travel Tips & Insights

Get expert travel insights for Laos - discover the best time to visit, ideal trip duration, and must-visit destinations to help you plan and customize your perfect tour.

When to go to Laos

You will get the most out of Laos if you coincide your visit to fall in the period between November and March. The weather is welcoming to travelers right across the country during these months. Alternatively, you can opt for the months of July and August, although it means that you will have to contend with larger crowds. There is little change in temperatures during the rest of the year (April to June and September to October), with daytime averages of around 30°C. However, Laos sees quite a bit of rainfall in September and October, which can wash out your dream vacation. Learn more .

How long to stay in Laos

Laos does not receive anywhere near the number of visitors as its neighbors. But that does not mean there is a limited number of things to do or destinations to explore. We always suggest planning a Laos itinerary that lasts two weeks. This gives you enough time to go bargain hunting in the markets of Vientiane, see the gilded temples of Luang Prabang and enjoy some time in the villages around the mighty Mekong.

Must-visit destinations in Laos

In addition to the Unesco World Heritage site of Luang Prabang, those heading out to Laos should add a trip to Pakse , located in the far south, in their itinerary. Visit Nam Ha National Biodiversity Conservation Area to get a sense of the country’s geographical and natural diversity. Then gaze at the languid cascades of the Kuang Si Falls and hike through the dramatic mountains of Vang Vieng, the erstwhile party capital of the country.

I was born and raised in Vietnam. I love my country, and I have always been passionate about travelling and wanting to share my experience with others. Travelling for me had never been limited to just Vietnam, and I extensively explored Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand as well. I began my travelling experience as an individual, exploring the areas close to Hanoi by motorbike. With time my trips became farther to different destinations, and I start organizing trips for my friends, which then became my profession. My country is full of beautiful places and friendly people, which inspired me to start a travel company. My company started as a very small family business, and now it has grown and offers more destinations in Indochina, which I know and love the same as my country. Even after 11 years of working, I still feel inspired to design trips for our travellers, offering them an authentic experience and not the ‘standard’ way of exploring the country. I believe that travelling is not limited to sightseeing and can always be something unique and different, whether through meeting interesting people, cooking a local meal, or heading off the beaten paths. Just let me know what you like to do, and I will find the perfect way to explore Indochina through the things you love.

First time with Exodus - exceeded our expectations - programme well planned and varied - loved the activities - group leaders excellent - fellow group members great company.

Laos is an interesting country that is still quite undeveloped and new for tourism. This particular trip was not very inspiring, and particularly as most of the travel was by train which meant not much of the countryside was seen. I didn’t think the itinerary has enough in it

Welcome to Buddhist Central

We were among the first people to test out this Exodus itinerary, our group of 11 being the third to undertake Laos in Comfort since it was added to the schedule. I have been hankering to tour Laos for some years, having already been with Exodus to Vietnam and Cambodia, and for me it was the destination and not the comfort that was of prime importance. Having said that, all the hotels we stayed at were excellent, offering comfortable facilities with welcoming pools and good breakfasts. It was a joy to visit Luang Prabang, which is really Buddhist Central, and in particular getting up before sunrise to hand out alms to passing monks. We also enjoyed kayaking on the river at Vang Vieng and visiting (and swimming in) the waterfalls at Nam Kat. Our adventure included four journeys on the high speed train, which now cuts through Laos from China. While this was a new experience for me, I felt it was at least one high speed trip too many. For me, Luang Prabang was such a high I didn't want to return to Vientiane for our final farewell. Hopefully in future Exodus travellers will enjoy an extra night in Luang Prabang and end the trip with flights from there.

Overall I had a good experience in Laos on my first Explore trip. The positives were a solid itinerary visiting the 3 places of Vientiane, Vang Vieng, and Luang Prabang. Our tour leader Nam was well organised and most of the tour ran smoothly. The negatives were although Nam was nice and helpful he is let down by his communication skills. He wasn't always clear and at times he gave long-winded explanations. He didn't set a whatsapp group until day 4. And it would have been better that our daily plans were posted in Whatsapp to avoid confusion. The optional tour in Vang Vieng at I think USD30 was not value for money. The whole group did this optional tour and the visit to the Hmong village and Blue Lagoon wasn't worth it in my opinion. Lastly the Silver Naga hotel in Vang Vieng had a substandard bathroom with no shower cubicle, making it a 2 star standard.

Nam was a great guide to Laos. I loved this itinerary and found the accommodations to be comfortable and clean. Would recommend to others.
