Northern Laos

Where the sacred Khan and Mekong rivers meet, lies the captivating town of Luang Prabang, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1995. Its spiritual heart beats through 33 gilded wats and the frequent sight of saffron-robed monks, a defining and unforgettable aspect for all who visit.

The mountains of northern Laos are often lush and green, but in Nong Khiaw and Muang Ngoi, they offer a landscape of exceptional beauty.  

In the heart of a mountainous region bordering China, the provinces of Udomxai and Luang Namtha reveal their treasures: a mosaic of ethnic minority communities nestled in a setting of majestic mountains, winding rivers, and lush forests.  

Phongsali, a province of contrasts between Lao traditions and Chinese influences, reveals exceptional mountain panoramas and is home to authentic hill tribes.  

The Central Mekong, a region often glimpsed but rarely explored, reveals itself to travelers during a boat trip.  

Despite being the smallest capital in Southeast Asia, Vientiane is not lacking in character. Its unique atmosphere is shaped by French influences and a few Soviet-style buildings, reflecting its history and distinct identity.  

Nestled in northeastern Laos, bordering Vietnam, Xieng Khuang and Hua Phan offer striking landscapes and unique cultural treasures. These provinces, with their wild and unspoiled charm, are home to exceptional sites such as the mysterious Plain of Jars and the breathtaking Vieng Xai Caves.
