Lunch Cruise and Pak Ou Caves
One of the major attractions in Luang Prabang is the confluence of two rivers the Nam Khan River and the mighty Mekong River. On this Lunch time cruise you will have the opportunity to enjoy a trip on a traditional Lao river boat that has been widened at the beam to accommodate 10 four-top tables.
During this cruise, the Nava stops at the Pak Ou Caves for adventuring among the 5,000 sacred Buddhist statues and images scattered about the two limestone grottoes. Lunch is served either on board the Nava or in front of Pha Enn Cliff.
But it’s the river itself that’s the overwhelming experience. The coffee-coloured Mekong channels between ridges that Lao folklore understands as the recumbent bodies of men and women whose fate has won them eternal rest along these banks. Spindly teak trees shoot profusely from the flanks, fluttering skimpy green foliage. From splinters of boats, fishermen play out skeins of diaphanous nets, buoyed by plastic water and soda bottles.
