Meals: Lunch, Dinner
Overnight: Vang Vieng Hotel – Optional Hotels
Your journey begins with a pickup from your hotel in Vientiane city center. Known as a charming and peaceful capital, Vientiane blends cultural influences from Lao, Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese, French, and American heritage.
We start our city tour by visiting key landmarks:
- Wat Sisaket, the oldest temple in Vientiane, famous for its thousands of miniature Buddha statues.
- Wat Prakeo, formerly the royal temple that once housed the revered Emerald Buddha Image.
- En route to Pha That Luang, the sacred national symbol of Laos, we’ll stop for photos at the iconic Patuxay Monument—Vientiane’s own version of the Arc de Triomphe.
Our final stop is the enchanting Buddha Park, a unique riverside garden filled with over 200 intriguing Buddhist and Hindu sculptures. Created over 500 years ago by a mysterious monk, the park reflects his visionary beliefs about life, spirituality, and the universe.
After the tour, we begin a scenic 1.5-hour drive to Vang Vieng. Upon arrival, check in to your hotel and freshen up.
At 6:00 PM, our guide will escort you on an evening walk to explore Vang Vieng by night and enjoy dinner at a local restaurant.
