    Beautiful falls, a cool heaven in a hot Laos. Sadly enough it attracts more and more visitors, but it's worth while as long as it doesn't get worse (the number of tourists). It's starting to develop in a tourist trap, but the falls are beautifull and swimming in them is indeed the coolest thing to do out there (litteralry). It's 25000 kip for foreigners, they have a bear sanctuary, support them please, the bears seem not to be very happy. Enjoy

    One of the best things we've done in SE Asia. So interesting learning about the different stages of growing rice - we will never look at it in the same way again! The tour was super hands on with each person in the group getting to have a go at each different step, and our tour guide Den was very knowledgeable, super funny and spoke perfect English. An awesome community enterprise to support, and a really fun day out.

    This place is so beautiful you can't miss it. It was not that busy when we visited this afternoon and we were lucky that we got to enjoy this almost deserted. This place is so beautiful and interesting it should be added to your to do list when visiting Luang prabang. Only 20,000 kip entry fee per person . Highly recommend

    This was a deeply moving experience learning about elephants who have been rescued from hard labor, logging, and/or tourist duty (giving rides, etc). The guides and mahouts provided perspective on both the traditions that led to captivity of these magnificent animals and the growing awareness of the need to treat them humanely. They were knowledgeable, gentle with the elephants, and very engaging with the guests. We took the half-day tour. It included a lovely boat ride across a river to get to the elephants, feeding the elephants bananas, walking through the jungle with the elephants, walking through beautiful vegetable gardens, and a delicious lunch back at the camp (this was undoubtedly our best meal in Laos).

    There's hiking to do, which suited me just fine. I enjoyed the exercise. It was not too busy when I was here. Nice weather.

    We loved strolling through the beautiful old quarter, which has a very relaxed atmosphere. There is so much to see - stylish colonial buildings, beautiful temples and loads of great coffee shops and restaurants. A fantastic place to sit and watch the world go by.

    Best place to visit in Laos! Get a real understanding of the history of Laos and how the bombings in the 1960s and 70s still have a devastating impact and shaped how Laos is today. Don’t bother with the Royal Palace go here instead - you won’t regret it. And it’s free entry.
