Once a forgotten land, Laos today is a fascinating destination with nice sunshine, friendly smiles, Theravada Buddhism, and the UNESCO World Heritage sites. An extremely hard time hit the serene, beautiful, mountain-covered country during its civil war from 1959 to 1975. It took her decades to leave the deep scar behind. Now, the landlocked nation is marching forward as gradual changes and projects have been underway. Visiting Laos means enjoying its magical landscapes, seeing its peaceful worship of Buddhism, and experiencing a transforming realm. To unwind a perfect holiday, begin your Lao journey in Vientiane, the country’s capital. Indulge yourself in the stunning sceneries of Vang Vieng. And soak up the time-traveling atmosphere of Luang Prabang.
Vientiane is a capital city of a rare type thanks to its location on the Lao-Thai border. There are only a handful of capital cities in the world that lie on national boundaries. Despite its status as Laos’ capital, Vientiane has peaceful vibes. Tourism is not a boom. The city is far more local and Laotian than it is modified for tourists. Here and there, you can see Theravada Buddhist temples and monasteries. They are open to everybody. Wat Sisaket and Pha That Luang are two of the religious monuments to experience serenity. By the mighty Mekong River, there is the Riverside Night Market to fill your evenings with joy.
As one of the top highlights of Laos, Vang Vieng looks too simple, local, rustic, tiny and sleepy. Instead of the city’s internal sphere, its surroundings, blessed with miraculous landscapes, generate its fame. Huge rock hills stand like pillars here and there. Lush green scenes are everywhere. Rice fields spread wherever space allows. On the flat plain, the Nam Song River meanders. All of them offer various holiday activities such as ziplining and kayaking. While Vientiane and Luang Prabang boast their cultural wealth, Vang Vieng is ideal for appreciating nature and the country’s raucous countryside.
In Luang Prabang, you will enjoy its marvelous preservation of the old architecture. The city has a gorgeous blend of the French colonial designs and the traditional Lao style in buildings everywhere, making it earn the status of UNESCO World Heritage. Luang Prabang’s long, winding history never fails to entertain its visitors. Its downtown has elegant Buddhist temples. Outside of the city, there is Kuang Si Waterfalls, one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Southeast Asia, to sink yourself in the cool water and the dense tropical forest. Want to get more of Luang Prabang? Cruise along the mighty Mekong River to appreciate the green, mountain-filled environs.
