Laos holidays

One of Asia's most beautiful secrets is the gentle and enigmatic Laos. A land of wats and orange robed monks, Laos is tranquil and unhurried, and nowhere more so than the ancient capital Luang Prabang the perfect base from which to experience luxury holidays in Laos.

Laos holidays with Abercrombie & Kent will be an experience of the real Laos with its fascinating people. culture, traditions and landscapes.

Nestling between the Mekong and the Khan rivers, time stands still in Luang Prabang, the perfect place to begin your Laos holiday where the past seems more alive than the present. The country's varied topography is home to the flat plains of the remote Bolovens Plateau, the Khong Pha Pheng Falls, the mysterious Plain of Jars and hill tribes in the forests of the north.

Holidays in Laos, for many will include a stop in the second main city, Vientiane.  The relaxing atmosphere will make Vientiane feel exactly like the small town it is, after viewing the temples the best way to finish your afternoon is to head to the riverside for a cool Beerlao (the national beer) and watch the sun set over the Mekong.

For those wishing to take their Laos holidays further south (Southern Laos) will be rewarded with rugged natural landscapes and some of the most unspoilt areas to be found in modern Asia.
