An introduction to this fascinating and little known country. Beginning in Thailand’s infamous Golden Triangle we'll travel down the Mekong River, through Laos' unspoilt mountains and jungles to the ancient capital, now World Heritage Site, Luang Prabang.
After exploring the beautiful temples and colonial architecture of what is acknowledged to be the best preserved city in S.E. Asia, the itinerary takes you over the dramatic central highlands of Laos to the present day capital of Vientiane.
