DAY 1. LUANG PRABANG – KHOUANGSI WATER FALL (B/…/…)
Today, we enjoy a short-guided tour seeing the magnificent Wat Xiengthong with its roofs sweeping low to the ground, which represents classical Laotian architecture, Wat Mai and National Museum. Laos is also known for its traditional crafts, and today you will visit local villages of Lao ethnic minority groups at Ban Ouay, Hmong Village, Ban Ou, Laoloum Village and Ban Thapene, Khmu Village, then drive to the beautiful Khouangsi Waterfall where you can cool off with a refreshing swim in the turquoise pools or walk along the forest trails. We also visit Living Craft Center during time here.

DAY 2. LUANG PRABANG - PAKOU - LUANG PRABANG (B/…/…)
Breakfast. We then embark on a cruise upstream on the Mekong River, which also gives us a breathtaking view of the tranquil countryside as well as explore the mysterious Pak Ou Caves, two linked caves crammed with thousands of gold lacquered Buddha statues of various shapes and sizes left by pilgrims. Along the way, we stop at the village of Ban Xanghai, where they make the local rice wine. On return, we take a short drive to Ban Xangkhong, a village well known for its silk weavings and for its Saa (jute) Papermaking and Ban Phanom, a small village known for its hand weaving.

DAY 3. LUANG PRABANG – DEPARTURE (B/…/…)
An optional early start gives you the fantastic opportunity to participate in the daily morning rituals of saffron-clad monks collecting offerings of Alms (ubiquitous sticky rice) from the faithful residents. This tradition is very unique in Laos, being the only Buddhist nation still preserving the procession.
The tour ends after your transfer to the airport for departure.
