Bangkok To Laos, North To South - 12 Days / 11 Nights

Jean-Yves - Laos Product and Adventure Manager

Laos, the forgotten destination of Southeast Asia… and I just love it!  Far from the noisy Asian town such as Hanoi, Saigon or Bangkok… peaceful area where you may blend nature and chilling out on the same way.

Far from the main tourist streams, Laos is a place to enjoy something unique and experience breathtaking activities between kayaking through the limestone reliefs of Northern and central Laos and biking along the mighty Mekong passing through local village, having a look over the rural daily life and all that offered with huge smiles…

Without having to drive too far, Phou Khao Kway Protected Area is easily accessible for a day excursion led by local communities. Nature will embrace as soon as you step foot in the park. Forests, waterfalls… nothing better than walking under the shadows of the trees with your eyes permanently opened over wild orchids (more than 50% of Laotian species are found here) and bird watching activities. Learn about the use of plants & trees by villagers… eat delicious grilled fish… and finally finish your day by swimming at the feet of the waterfalls.

Southern Laos is as well an area to visit with the Bolovens Plateau and its secrets shared between coffee, waterfalls, nature.  Or bike along the Mekong to visit the famous Wat Phou Complex and keep on going to the 4000 islands, passing from one village to another one without making any noise allowing you a quiet approach to find your happiness… watch lazy buffalo lying in the mud of rice fields, fishermen throwing into an elegant gesture their fishnets or just looking kids playing kataw (local volleyball game) closed to the majestic Lippi or Khone Phapheng waterfalls…. Just make your trail along the river…it’s magical.
