Itinerary
We will pick you up from your hotel in Luang Prabang (the hotel on your arrangement) and drive to XiengKhuang - the area once devastated by American bombings between 1964 and 1973.
These back roads are a great way to explore the real Laos. There are few other travelers, mostly rural dwellers who are just as interested in finding out about our lives as we are in theirs.
The drive is quite long but Asia Links Travel can make some stops at our pleasure, to stretch our legs and take some wonderful photographs.
You will have the chance to discover the unique architecture, culture, tradition, language, etc. of the 3 ethnic groups on the way.
Upon arrival of this classic journey in Laos, we go to the "Plain of Jars"'s first site, a spectacular archaeological site where the plateau is covered in hundreds of enormous stone jars.
The origin and significance of these jars are still up for debate; the tallest jar is 3.25 meters.
