Sabai dee, and welcome to the enchanting realm of Laos. Upon your airport arrival, our team will greet you warmly and ensure your transfer to a comfortable, centrally located hotel. Keep an eye out for the CUSTOM ASIA TRAVEL welcome sign in the arrivals hall. Nestled at the confluence of the Nam Khan River and the majestic Mekong, the UNESCO-listed Old Town of Luang Prabang stands as a testament to Southeast Asia's best-preserved traditional cities. The city's tranquil charm, paired with its breathtaking mountain backdrop, establishes it as a true treasure of Indochina. The remainder of the day is yours to relish, whether by unwinding by the hotel pool or embarking on a foot-powered exploration of this picturesque town. As twilight descends, we invite you to the Nam Khan River's edge, where the inviting Tamarind Restaurant awaits to introduce you to an array of classic Laotian dishes. The restaurant's friendly staff will guide you through each course, even offering insights into the art of consumption for some dishes.

An early rise presents a rare opportunity to engage in the timeless Tak Bat alms-giving ceremony. Just before dawn, saffron-robed monks emerge from Luang Prabang's 35 temples, receiving their daily alms from the devout local community. Following this profound experience, navigate the vibrant morning market where locals gather their day's provisions. Return to the hotel for a satisfying breakfast and a moment of repose before setting off on today's escapade. Embrace the iconic tuk-tuk, a symbol of Southeast Asia since its introduction from Japan in 1934. This agile vehicle, now a fixture of daily life in Laos, Thailand, and Cambodia, becomes your open-air chariot for an enchanting exploration of charming Luang Prabang. Key highlights encompass Wat Mai Suwannaphumaham, the captivating National Museum (Royal Palace), and the architectural marvel of Wat Xieng Thong. Erected by King Setthathirath in 1559, Wat Xieng Thong stands as the city's paramount temple, adorned with a captivating mosaic featuring the intricate 'tree of life.' Our day culminates atop Mount Phousi, where the gilded stupa graces us with sunset hues and a sweeping panorama of the cityscape.

Today's escapade offers a harmonious blend of biking and kayaking, ensuring a delightful fusion of thrills and serenity. After receiving modern bike fitting and a comprehensive safety briefing, we embark on a leisurely bike excursion along tranquil back roads. Our path leads us to the resplendent Wat Pa Phon Phao, a gilded temple that unveils captivating vistas of Luang Prabang. Continuing along the meandering Nam Khan River, we pause at the final resting place of Henri Mouhot, the renowned French explorer associated with Cambodia's Angkor Temple complex. Following a picturesque bike journey, we reach the serene Nam Khan Valley, enveloped by majestic mountains, meandering rivers, and rustic villages. Lunch unfolds either at a mountaintop vista or the Tad Sae Waterfall, contingent on the season. A brief boat ride transports us to the enchanting Tad Sae Waterfall, inviting you to indulge in a revitalizing swim in its turquoise pools beneath the verdant jungle canopy. Our adventure proceeds downstream, transitioning into a gentle kayaking experience along the Nam Khan River, guiding us back to Luang Prabang. A short return ride concludes our day, leading us back to our haven beneath the city bridge.

Following breakfast, our day commences with a captivating journey to the Kuang Si Waterfall, a natural marvel cocooned by lush foliage. En route, we pause at the Free the Bears Sanctuary, a refuge committed to rehabilitating the Asiatic Black bears, casualties of the illicit wildlife trade. The splendid Kuang Si Waterfall, descending 50 meters into crystalline pools, creates an idyllic haven for swimming. For a panoramic vantage, consider a hike to the waterfall's pinnacle. After a satisfying lunch, embark on a picturesque 3-hour hike along forested trails and across rice fields, culminating at the village of Long Lao Mai. Upon arrival, plunge into the tapestry of Hmong rural traditions, engaging in time-honored practices of cooking, farming, and weaving. Nestled within the village, your comfortable eco bungalow offers an authentic immersion into local life, complemented by a dinner served under the celestial canopy.

You'll participate in seed selection, water buffalo plowing, planting, and, if the season aligns, even harvesting. This immersive experience provides valuable insights into the daily lives of the majority of Laotian people. The rest of the day is yours to enjoy leisurely. And if you haven't already, don't miss the charming night market located at the base of Mount Phousi.
