Top things to see and do in Laos

Laos is often overlooked by travellers but easily ranks among the best holiday destinations in Southeast Asia. Embark on a Mekong river cruise, conquer limestone peaks while rock climbing in Northern Laos, explore ancient temples like the Pha That Luang in Vientiane, and immerse yourself in local village life in the Mekong Delta lowlands. Don't miss the Khone Phapheng Falls, the largest waterfall in Southeast Asia, and enjoy treks in the mountainous North.

Laos celebrates several festivals throughout the year. Some of the most renowned festivals include Boun Pi Mai, the Lao New Year, a celebration with water fights and parades; Boun Bung Fai, the Rocket Festival, which features homemade rockets and colourful processions to pray for rain; and Boun Ok Phansa, which marks the end of Buddhist lent with candlelit boat processions and offerings to monks.
