Laos Extension

Another nifty add-on to a Southeast Asian foray, our five-day Laos excursion takes us to the serene, rustic Lao capital of Vientiane, and on to the delightful temples of Luang Prabang, “a tiny Manhattan,” Norman Lewis called it, “but with holy men in yellow in its avenues, and garlanded pedicabs, and doves in its sky.”

Day 1: arrive in Vientiane • Day 2: fly to Luang Prabang • Day 3: excursion on the Mekong • Day 4: Luang Prabang • Day 5: depart.
