Pssst, let us fill you in on a little secret. Meandering rivers, lush jungle, village markets, Laos is the highlight of Southeast Asia that few travelers see. And the best way to see the country- Area Valet’s Asia Safari which gives you an unparalleled glimpse of traditional Southeast Asian life.
Cruise down the Mekong on a traditional pirogue; explore the province of Oudom Xay, the heart of North Burma, untouched by development and populated by indigenous tribes; visit gorgeous Buddhist temples and ancient sites including the Pak Ou caves with their hundreds of discarded Buddhist statues; and explore the ancient royal city of Luang Prabang.
Whether visiting the colorful market at Oudom Xay, watching the sun set over Mt. That, bicycling through rice paddies to visit traditional villages, or ending the day with a relaxing Laotian massage, you’ll see ways of life that haven’t changed for hundreds of years, including the local production of rice and salt.
The best time to go – November through February when it isn't too hot.
