Laos is a country where visitors can really escape from the stress of modern life and step into the tranquility of a world dominated by Buddhism. One of the highlights of Laos is the former royal capital of Luang Prabang in the northern mountains. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, there is little traffic on the streets and monks in saffron robes carrying black umbrellas to shade themselves are a familiar sight. The following trek options provide the opportunity to discover charming temples, friendly minority tribes and fertile valleys. The only difficulty will be choosing which route!
