Luang Prabang is a city with much history and part of its intrigue lies in its fusion of French colonial and tradtional Lao architecture. Houses with Shutters and red-tiled roofs coupled with temples of sweeping roofs and gilded entrances make an interesting sight but a walk down the wat (temple) lined street towards and up Phou Si mountain will offer a sprawling view of the town.

Visit both the day and night markets to learn about the local industries, savour the local snacks and be one with the local hustle and bustle. The evenings are just as spectacular with the serenity and grace of the Baci ceremony—where peace offerings are tradionally made with white strings tied around your wrists as a hope for peace, health and prosperity.
