This UNESCO World Heritage Site is the former capital of Laos, and you'll see everything from golden-roofed temples to vestiges of colonial French architecture here. Buddhist monasteries abound in Luang Prabang, and early every morning, monks process through the streets collecting alms (their food for the day). If you want to watch or participate, though, ask your hotel for a brief etiquette lesson first—you have to distribute the food in a specific manner.

We are Wander Spot Explore and we came to Manifa Elephant Camp and Lodge for couple days only but instead spent almost a week there. The place is fantastic! Staff was super helpful all the time, food they provided exceeded our expectations and I could not even talk about how great the view from our lodge was. Meeting the elephants walking through your lawn near the pool in the morning was something insane. Never expected to see so many and so well taken care of animals in whole Southeast Asia. On top of staying in one of the nicest resorts in Luang Prabang, we got to bath elephants in Mekong, visit their camp where Mahout family is taking care of them, also, a chance to go into nearby Pak Ou Caves after which we just chose a random Mekong island and got an insane BBQ there with a fire and even table brought from the resort. There are more activities, but in order to do them all you need more time, for instance during dry season you can also go kayaking. The only hard thing I encountered was that not everyone speaks English well and sometimes you need to wait or double check if they understand you correctly. But the staff is very helpful and always treats the visitors with so much care. You can always use translator if you really need to. Apart from that I hated only mosquito who were bothering me just after sunset, but it is a superb resort in middle of beautiful and green nature by the river of Mekong, what can you do about them.. For more photos and stories visit our instagram or facebook. We will also include this place in to our bucketlist on our page as this is definitely a must visit place if you are in Luang Prabang!

Anyone making it to Luang Prabang should permit an early morning wake-up call to bear witness and be blessed by giving alms to monks. A ritual so engulfed with spirituality, grace and devotion to Buddhism, nothing short of making it a Laos’ highlight. • Take part in one of the most spiritual rituals in Luang Prabang – the Tak Bat • See hundreds of monks walk through the streets in their saffron-coloured robes • Learn about the deep respect the residents have for Buddhism and the monks during this early morning search for enlightenment.

Nothing special really. If you have been to Halong bay in Vietnam, this artificial lake is nothing. However, if you are in Vientiane, Laos and have a free day it is worth a visit. The trip takes you to the countryside across rice farms and various plantations. A stop at a scenic hydro electric power plant to take a snapshot of a nice view infront of the water locks is recommended. Then on arrival at the lake, you stop at a small jet to take an hour boat ride. Various sizes boats are available. The prices are so cheap. You take a fairly good size boat for an entire family for 150,000 Kip. You pay slightly more for a boat with a toilet onboard. This is for an hour long ride which is so relaxing. You can order lunch and have it on board whilst slowly cruizing around this huge artifial lake. Recommended if you and family or group of friends have a free day whilst in Vientiane, Laos.

Nature and Laos – a match made in heaven; around 70% of the country consists of mountains, reaching elevations up to 2800 meters above sea level and with this comes the perfect terrain for one of nature’s most versatile natural materials: bamboo. Local businesses – ranging from construction companies to restaurants – have found numerous ways to use bamboo in their daily lives. Even households in Laos have found useful means in making use of the material in all means possible, including toys and instruments. It is not strange to see that these various means of its functionality are blended into half-day learning and gaining hands-on experience on the possibilities with bamboo.
