This scenic train ride, part of our 5 Days from Vientiane to Luang Prabang Tour, takes about two hours and offers serene views of the peaceful Lao countryside.
Upon arrival in Luang Prabang, you will be greeted by your local guide and driver before starting your city tour.

Its unique architecture was inspired by the Khmer temple of Wat Phou. Nearby, visit Wat Aham, followed by Wat Saen, known as the city’s first monastery.
Continue to Wat Xieng Thong, the most magnificent temple in Luang Prabang, often called the “Monastery of the Golden City.” Its elegant carvings, detailed mosaics, and beautiful stupas represent the finest of Lao artistry, making it one of the must-see places to visit in Luang Prabang during your Luang Prabang Tours.

Wake up early to witness and take part in one of Laos’ most sacred traditions, the morning alms-giving ceremony. Dating back to the 14th century, this ritual sees over 200 Buddhist monks walking silently through the streets to collect offerings from residents. Afterward, visit the bustling morning market near the former Royal Palace, where locals trade fresh produce, meats, and handmade goods. It’s an authentic glimpse into daily Lao life and a favorite highlight in many Laos Tours.
Later, take a boat cruise along the Mekong River to the famous Pak Ou Caves, also known as Tham Ting. Set in a limestone cliff, the caves are filled with thousands of Buddha statues of varying sizes, placed there by devotees over many generations. On the return trip, stop at Ban Xang Hai Village, where locals produce traditional rice wine.
In the afternoon, travel about 32 kilometers southwest of Luang Prabang to visit the beautiful Kuang Si Waterfall. On the way, stop at small villages of ethnic minorities to learn more about their unique cultures - one of the memorable places to visit in Laos.
Upon arrival, enjoy the peaceful scenery, and if the weather is pleasant, take a refreshing swim in the turquoise pools. For those who love adventure, a short hike to the top of the falls offers spectacular views.
