"The majestic Mekong River has been the lifeblood of the region since time immemorial"

The majestic Mekong River has been the lifeblood of the region since time immemorial, from its humble origins deep in the Tibetan plateau, down to the delta rice lands of Vietnam.

Along the 362 mile cruise of untouched jungle and forest, (one and two day trips) are very small villages of Lao people and ethnic hill tribes who farm, fish and raise water buffalo. Elephants bathe nearby along the banks in the evening.

Once in Luang Prabang, you can rent a bicycle for a dollar a day and delight in this charming village. A touch of the French colonial influence prevails and the Laotian culture adds its own quiet blend.

Night markets display their skill of weaving and sewing, small cafes offer local and international food, all reasonably priced. The very ancient temples are charged with clarity and inspiration.

Eco tourism is a high priority with tour companies, initiating many projects for the protection of the elephants, unspoiled hiking, kayaking and mountain biking.

Peace, tranquility and quiet accommodation can be found at one of the three 100 year old restored Laotian - French style bungalows set along the river bank with, pool, restaurant and spa. Call us for reservations.
