Southeast Asia Jet Expedition

The pace of Luang Prabang is seductively slow. Observe the ebb and flow of the mighty Mekong River and flashes of saffron as Buddhist monks tread silently between temples in Laos’ spiritual capital, a well-preserved Unesco World Heritage Site. At the foot of sacred Mount Phousi, Amantaka’s historic French colonial buildings retain their era’s genteel grace amid lush gardens, while private pools and an expansive spa keep contemporary souls in their comfort zone. A traditional Baci ceremony will bless your arrival, and a personal guide will help you discover the town’s historic treasures from the Royal Palace to iconic temples. A boat trip on the Mekong to Pak Ou Cave – full of Buddhist statues, a hike to the village of Ban Muang Khaeo, visiting rescued elephants and witnessing the traditional almsgiving ceremony at dawn are sure to be highlights.
