5 days from £490

Experience Laos's two most stunning cities in one trip. The World Heritage site of Luang Prabang is a truly unique place that will not be forgotten in a hurry. Eat World class cuisine while watching the sunset over the Mekong River, explore the numerous temples, or simply soak up the atmosphere of the busy market. Vientiane is equally as memorable, and also sits alongside the banks of the giant Mekong which separates Laos and Thailand. Visit the many museums and temples that make up this interesting capital city.
