ITINERARY BOOK
 


This journey has been personally designed by Lamphoune Voravongsa, owner of Satri House and Lao Poet Hotels, passionate to share her knowledge about Lao culture, art and traditions.

All our itineraries have generally been constructed on the basis of the rooms that have the most charm or best view, and not necessarily the first prices, nor the most expensive suites.
We can of course adjust according to your request.

Highlights of the Journey:

  • Luang Prabang, UNESCO Heritage Town
  • Vientiane, peaceful capital city of Laos

Discover two capitals of Laos: the cultural capital and UNESCO town Luang Prabang, with a French colonial touch, and the country’s capital, Vientiane, which blends traditions with modernity. Enjoy a stay in a true urban jungle retreat. Both destinations are connected by the Mekong River. This Luang Prabang Vientiane tour is ideal for travelers seeking a journey of culture, charm, and discovery. The itinerary can begin or end in Vientiane, making it a flexible choice for those exploring Laos tours Vientiane to Luang Prabang.
