Discover classic Laos on this 10-day guided tour. Start in the UNESCO heritage ancient royal capital Luang Prabang and travel through Phonsavanh to Vang Vieng to the final destination of Vientiane, the capital of Laos.
In Luang Prabang, visit famous temples that are still used in daily Lao life, experience a boat trip on the mighty Mekong River to the mysterious Pak Ou cave and see other highlights such as stunning waterfalls and a living farm.
Xieng Khouang, the next stop, is best-known for having been heavily bombed during the Indochina War and also for the historic Plain of Jars. In Vang Vieng, visit nearby villages, populated by the Hmong hill tribe and Tai Dam people, who live a simple life but possess a vibrant local culture and an interesting history.
Continue to Vientiane and stop to visit an archaeological site of Vang Xang, where you can admire one of the country’s oldest Buddha statues, dating back to the 11th century.

Overall, I was truly impressed by how earth and human conscious G Adventures is. This unique focus really sets your program apart from others and makes me proud to support you now and in the future. I had the pleasure of joining my first G adventure group, accompanied by such a wonderful group of people and an excellent CEO Min and incredible local guides: Jill, Addi and Seng. Earth and human-centered tourism are often afterthoughts, so it was a pleasant surprise to see these values woven seamlessly throughout the trip, from the villages we visited to the local restaurants we supported. This thoughtful approach made the experience not only enjoyable but also deeply meaningful.

I truly enjoyed my experience with GAdventures. The SouthEast Asia encompassed tour was a great way to see the highlights of 4 different countries. It was a great opportunity to truly experience each culture and give back to the communities. The tour leader really makes the experience as positive as it was. It wouldn’t be the same without Chen!
