5-Day Laos Highlights in Laos

Travel through Laos from Luang Prabang to Vientiane, with time in Pak Ou and Kuang Si, a rail transfer to Vang Vieng, and a final stay in the capital. The route follows some of the country’s best-known places for temples, river scenery, cave visits and relaxed town life. In Luang Prabang, visit key temples and the former royal palace museum. Continue to Kuang Si Waterfall and the Pak Ou Caves for a mix of natural scenery and river travel. Then cross to Vang Vieng by train before finishing in Vientiane, where temple visits and colonial-era streets give the city its distinct character. This small-group tour is suited to travellers who want a guided overview of Laos with a balanced pace and a clear route between the main stops.
