Description:

See the sights of Luang Prabang, a northern Lao city, on this private, half-day tour. Admire iconic Wat Wisunarat, built in the early 16th century, and then take in the far-reaching view from atop Mount Phou Si and browse a fine selection of goods at the bustling central market.

With your guide, make your way to the old town center—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—and take in the sights of the city that teems with culture and tradition as you head to Wat Wisunarat. Here, admire the unusual, lotus-shaped stupa that was designed by the wife of King Wisunarat. Stop by Wat Aham for a glimpse of the red and gold pillars as well as Wat Mai—the largest Buddhist temple in Luang Prabang.

Next, climb up to Mount Phou Si to see the sacred, gilded stupa of Wat Chom Si and marvel at the view of the Mekong River and the city below. Get a sense of the hustle and bustle of Lao markets as you haggle your way through the central market and browse the many foods, jewelry, and handicrafts. While here, you have the chance to purchase a lovely textile, handmade by the hill-tribe people, as a souvenir.
