Southern Laos and Cambodia share a thousand-year-old Khmer history. This 8-day tour starts in Pakse, explores the temples of Wat Phou and the 4,000 islands of the Mekong on the Lao side, then crosses the border to Siem Reap for three days in the heart of Angkor. Asia Safari coordinates all Laos-Cambodia logistics\u2014transfers, visas, accommodation\u2014for a seamless journey between these two kingdoms. <\/p>\n<\/div>

Two Khmer legacies, one journey<\/h2>\n

Wat Phou \u2014 The Angkor of Laos<\/h3>\n

Located 45 km from Pakse, the Wat Phou complex (UNESCO) is a pre-Angkorian temple built between the 10th and 12th centuries. Set against a sacred mountain, it exudes a more intimate and preserved atmosphere than Angkor. A perfect introduction before the great Cambodian site. <\/p>\n

The 4,000 Islands \u2014 The gentleness of the Mekong<\/h3>\n

Si Phan Don (the 4,000 islands) is one of the most peaceful areas in Laos: islands inhabited by fishermen, hammocks facing the river, and the Khone Phapheng falls (the most powerful in Southeast Asia). Asia Safari reserves two timeless days for you there. <\/p>\n

Angkor \u2014 The absolute must-see<\/h3>\n

Siem Reap and its temples of Angkor constitute one of the greatest archaeological wonders of the world. Asia Safari dedicates three full days for you to explore Angkor Wat, Bayon, Ta Prohm, and secondary temples away from the crowds. <\/p>\n

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

Is a visa required to enter Cambodia from Laos?<\/h3>\n

The Cambodian visa is available upon arrival at the land border (approximately 35 USD). Asia Safari manages the formalities and accompanies you during the border crossing. <\/p>\n

When is the best time to visit Angkor?<\/h3>\n

November to March: dry season, cooler temperatures. Asia Safari recommends visiting Angkor early in the morning (sunrise over Angkor Wat) to avoid the crowds. <\/p>\n

Can this tour be extended to Phnom Penh or Vietnam?<\/h3>\n

Yes. Asia Safari can organize an extension to Phnom Penh (flight from Siem Reap) or to Ho Chi Minh City for travelers wishing to continue their exploration of Indochina. <\/p>\n<\/div>
