PROGRAM

DAY 1: ARRIVAL IN LUANG PRABANG

Luang Prabang is perhaps the best-preserved ancient city in Southeast Asia. The tranquility and charm of this town, with its splendid natural scenery and cultural sights, make it one of the most delightful places to visit in Laos.
Landing at Luang Prabang Airport, you will be greeted by our guide and escorted to your hotel in the city. 

Accommodation: RoseWood Luang Prabang Resort, Riverside Room
Meal: none 

Visa Fast track service at airport (complimentary service by Asia Colors Travel)
With the visa fast track service at the airport in Luang Prabang, you do not need to fill out the entry form or queue in line. Upon entering the arrival terminal, simply look for our representative who will be holding a signboard bearing your name(s). Hand all the documents (original passport, visa stamping fee) to our representative, and wait for a while. All the procedures at the Immigration Desk will be handled by our representative. 
After the visa is procured, guests will be escorted to the baggage claim to pick up their luggage (guests pick up luggage themselves), then go out to meet your tour guide. 
Note: Approval letter for Lao visa is not required, guest(s) only need to pay the stamping fee.

DAY 2: INSIGHTS OF LUANG PRABANG

Early risers may join a very special dawn visit to watch the monks collecting alms. As the sun begins to rise, long lines of orange-robed monks leave their pagodas and walk barefoot down the streets collecting offerings from Luang Prabang residents. It is an insightful, serene ceremony that highlights the spiritualism of this nation. Return to your hotel for breakfast. 
Today, we explore the most highlights of Luang Prabang: the National Museum, the Wat Xieng Thong and Mount Phousi for an enjoyable exploration of the sacred, gilded stupa, as well as a beautiful sunset view over the city and the Mekong River. At last, the option to explore the Street Night Bazaar, where you can find a lovely variety of textiles handmade by local and hill tribe people surrounding Luang Prabang. 

In the late afternoon, travel by tuk-tuk to a local house. You will be warmly welcomed by your host before taking part in a Baci ceremony where you will have white cotton strings ties around your wrist for good luck. Baci is a ceremony to celebrate a special event, whether a marriage, a homecoming, a welcome, a birth, or one of the annual festivals. The Baci ceremony can take place any day of the week and all year long, preferably before noon or before sunset. The term more commonly used is “su kwan”, which means “calling of the soul”.
After that, enjoy authentic home cooked Laos cuisine, chat with your hosts and then return to your hotel.

Accommodation: RoseWood Luang Prabang Resort, Riverside room
