Pack the good walking shoes and explore Luang Prabang through its different terrains, waters and heights! Venture into mysterious holy caves, weave through rice paddies into local Laotian villages, watch the sun set over Mekong, seek spiritual fulfilment in a 500-year-old temple, and more… your next adventure awaits!

Upon landing at the airport, you will be transferred to the boat for a cruise along Mekong River to visit the mysterious Tham Pak Ou Caves, one of the most respected holy sites in Lao. Along the way you will stop by Ban Xang Hai village to try out their famous homemade alcohol, Lao Lao.

Your next stop will be Mount Phousi, Luang Prabang’s sacred hill and a popular spot for sunsets over Mekong River, before visiting the Night Market followed by dinner at Le Calao Restaurant to enjoy a Lao Set Menu.

You will then be transferred to your hotel for a good night’s rest.

Start the day with a tuk tuk ride and vehicle transfer to the Tiger Trail Adventure Camp, where you will cross the Nam Khan River by boat and begin the day’s trek. 

Throughout the hike you will encounter various terrains from rice paddies to limestone grottos and rocky slopes. You will also experience different ways of local living, customs and people in the villages you visit, starting from Ban Houay Fai, followed by lunch at Ban Tinpha, then ending at the riverside village, Ban Houay Yen. 

Hop back onto the boat for a beautiful stretch of Nam Khan, with a stop at Tad Sae Waterfall* to soak and relax after your day of trekking. You will then return to Luang Prabang by boat and vehicle, followed by a tuk tuk ride back to your hotel.

The total hike distance is about 12km (7.5mi) taking 4-5 hours through 300-900m of forest and farmland.

*During February to July (low water season) the Tad Sae Waterfall can be very dry and may be omitted from the itinerary.

Enjoy a culturally-enriching experience at the National Museum. Originally the residence of the king, the museum was designed in the French Beaux-Arts style with fascinating pieces about Lao history and culture. 

The tour concludes with visits to Wat Xieng Thong, a Royal temple built in 1559, and Wat Visoun, Luang Prabang’s oldest temple dating back to 1513 – a spiritually enlightening end to your three days in Luang Prabang.
