Destination: Laos

Yes! It's still possible to find the 'real' Asia...
the one before plastic consumerism, rampant
economic growth and western food on every
street corner. Be sure to say a cheery 'Sabaidee!'
to the happiest people in South East Asia.

ITINERARIES

Itinerary: Northern Loop

Pass quiet village ports & rugged gorges on the Mekong to Luang Prabang, then high into the mountains between Kasi and Vang Vieng: one of the best laos samplers for travellers with a relatively short time-span.

Itinerary: Bolaven & Beyond

On this roughly 650km journey you'll climb into the coffee-growing districts of the Bolaven Plateau, see waterfalls, and visit villages little-changed since the Ho Chi Minh Trail passed.
