Luang Prabang City Tour and Pak Ou Caves

In the morning we enjoy a short guided tour of the city’s oldest temple, Wat Sene, and the magnificent Wat Xieng Thong with its roofs sweeping low to the ground, which represent the classic architecture of Luang Prabang temple. We then board a cruise up the Mekong River, which gives us a beautiful view of the tranquil countryside as well as a fascinating visit deep within the mysterious Pak Ou Caves, crammed with thousands of gold lacquered Buddha statues. Along the way, we stop at the village of Ban Xanghai, where they distill local rice wine. Then we take a short drive to Ban Xang Khong and Ban Xienglek, well known for its handmade paper.
