Luang Prabang Hotels

Accredited as a World Heritage site by the UNESCO in 1995, Luang Prabang, the former capital, is set at the confluence of the Mekong and Khan Rivers and ring-fenced by green mountains. The best way to explore this small town is by bicycle or on foot. Luang Prabang is teeming with dozens of temples and sanctified sites. The most quintessential temple built in the classic Lanna style is Wat Xieng Thong characterized by the overlapping gilded-tile roofs stretching almost down to the ground.

No trip to Luang Prabang is complete without visiting Wat That Chom Si. It is located on top of Phousi Mountain in the very heart of town offering a tranquil and cozy atmosphere as well as picturesque views of the National Museum (once the Royal Palace). Then head further south to Wat Visoun, the oldest temple, to admire a unique stone stupa -- That Pathoume or That Mak Mo, thanks to its resemblance to a watermelon.

Touch the nature and see rural people's lifestyle in a rustic village along the way to Kuangsi Waterfall. This largest and most renowned waterfall highlights the Southern part of Luang Prabang with a great reputation for its lovely picnic spot.

Before you leave this friendly city, don't forget to bring back cotton, silk or hand-crafted souvenirs to make this trip a memorable one.
