Welcome to Laos
On the journey to conquer the beauty of unspoiled nature and culture over Asian countries, Laos is one of the “can not be missed” destinations. Despite the development of the tourist industry in Van Vieng, Luang Prabang and parts of the Mekong Delta, Laos still remains a small country with a primitive infrastructure; it has no railroads, a rudimentary road system, and limited external and internal telecommunications.
When making Laos travel from the north to the south you will never find two places that have the same environment and style.
In Vientiane , we can find the attractiveness of an old town by the river and ancient temples.
Travel to the North of Laos , there is an incredibly romantic Luang Prabang while the far northern provinces of Phongsali, Luang Nam Tha and Udomxai offer tremendous opportunities for trekking to minority villages and communicate with the locals. Especially, in the northeastern centres, we can reach mountainous region full of caves and waterfalls of Xieng Khouang, a worldwide famous destination of vast plateau with plain of jars.
The far south of Laos offers unrivalled remote districts and is slowly developing into a trekking centre in its own right. Although many shoot straight down to the far south to Si Phan Don, there is a lot to see and experience in between -- don't be too hasty. Attapeu, Pakse ad Salavan are all worthy considerations.
For those who look for cultural and eco –tourism as well as be willing to put up with fewer tourist luxuries, Laos offers outstanding potential.
