Laos : Northern Laos & the Golden Triangle
A superb introduction to the spectacular scenery and traditional culture of this truly fascinating, yet little known country.
From Thailand’s infamous Golden Triangle region, we'll travel by road and by boat through the unspoilt mountains and jungles of remote northern Laos to the ancient capital, now World Heritage Site, Luang Prabang. Explore the beautiful temples and colonial architecture of what is acknowledged to be the best preserved city in SE Asia before completing the tour in the present day capital of Vientiane.

Notes:
This tour is offered with or without return flights to London - persons not wishing to take up the flights option should join the tour in Chiang Mai on day 2 and depart in Bangkok on day 13. (Note your flight Vientiane to Bangkok is included).
Tourism in Laos is relatively undeveloped and services, transport etc may not always be of 'international' standards. To us that is part of the charm and the emphasis, as usual, will be on small, family-run accommodation, traditional food and local transport to give you a real feeling for, and genuine insight into, these fascinating cultures and stunning landscapes.
Suggestions:
make the most of your time in SE Asia with a few days relaxing in Chiang Mai before the tour and/or a couple of days in Bangkok prior to your departure?
