12 DAYS | 11 NIGHTS<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Crossing Laos from north to south in 12 days means capturing the fascinating diversity of this country in a single immersion. From Luang Prabang and its Buddhist temples to Vientiane, the peaceful capital, and on to the wild South of the Bolovens Plateau and the Mekong\u2019s 4,000 islands: Asia Safari designs this crossing itinerary as a complete journey, revealing Laos in all its geographical and cultural dimensions. <\/p>\n<\/div>

Crossing Laos from north to south<\/h2>\n

Luang Prabang \u2014 The Buddhist North<\/h3>\n

Starting point of the crossing, Luang Prabang brings together the best of cultural Laos: the dawn alms-giving ceremony, golden temples, the night market. Asia Safari settles you in for 3 days before heading south. <\/p>\n

Vang Vieng \u2014 Spectacular karst landscapes<\/h3>\n

A must-stop on National Road 13, Vang Vieng impresses with its karst scenery. Asia Safari offers a half-day of kayaking or cycling to explore the caves and rice fields at your own pace. <\/p>\n

Vientiane \u2014 The Lao capital<\/h3>\n

Vientiane is a human-scale capital where temples sit alongside French bakeries. That Luang, Patouxai, Buddha Park and an evening stroll along the Mekong make for a full day\u2019s program. <\/p>\n

The Bolovens Plateau and Southern Laos<\/h3>\n

The journey south reveals another Laos: the Bolovens Plateau (waterfalls, arabica coffee, ethnic villages), Pakse as a base for Vat Phou (UNESCO), and the Mekong\u2019s 4,000 islands as a soothing finale before your return flight.<\/p>\n

Your questions about this tour<\/h2>\n

How do north\u2013south transfers work?<\/h3>\n

Asia Safari combines a private vehicle, domestic flights and, depending on the season, cruising on the Mekong. Domestic flights (Luang Prabang \u2192 Vientiane or Pakse) are included to avoid long road journeys. <\/p>\n

Is it possible to do this tour the other way round (south\u2013north)?<\/h3>\n

Yes. If your inbound flight is to Vientiane or Pakse, Asia Safari reverses the itinerary. The experience is identical \u2014 only the direction in which you discover the country changes. <\/p>\n

Is this tour suitable for a first visit to Laos?<\/h3>\n

It is one of the best tours for a first, complete discovery. It covers the country\u2019s diversity without sacrificing depth at the key stops. <\/p>\n

Can you add extensions to Thailand or Cambodia?<\/h3>\n

Yes. From Pakse, the Cambodian border is easily accessible. From Huay Xai (after an optional Mekong cruise), Thailand (Chiang Rai) is within reach. Asia Safari organizes these extensions tailor-made. <\/p>\n<\/div>
