1 / 1

Essential Laos Family Holiday: Vientiane and Luang Prabang in Laos

This family-friendly Laos trip links Vientiane, Luang Prabang and the Pak Ou caves over five days. It combines city sights, river travel and a look at local craft villages, with an English-speaking guide and private transport throughout the program. The route starts in Vientiane with an introduction to the capital’s main landmarks. It continues to Luang Prabang for temple visits, a Mekong boat trip to Pak Ou, and time at Kuang Si Waterfall. Accommodation is arranged in centrally located hotels, with breakfast included daily and other meals as indicated in the itinerary. Because the domestic flight between Vientiane and Luang Prabang is not included, the land and river programme is designed as a guided travel package rather than a fully escorted tour.
