Luang Prabang

This ancient city is a UNESCO World Heritage site due to its unique mix of traditional and colonial architecture. Luang Prabang was the Laos royal capital until 1975, when the 600-year old monarchy was abolished and the Lao People's Democratic Republic was established.

There's lots to do in this town, and lots of culture to absorb. Our highlights included river and waterfall swimming, zip lining, taking a knife making class, learning about the farming cycles of rice growing and Susanna taking a Hmong embroidery class.Læs mere
