21 things to do in Laos

One of the important destinations in the South East Asian travel circuit, Laos still retains the original natural splendour. This landlocked country is soaked in natural beauty and one does not need to go far to witness serene countryside or tribal traditions. Two prominent cities of Vientiane and Luang Prabang serve as the base for multitude of adventurous experiences, be it gliding on Mekong, cycle around the countryside or trekking into the pristine rainforests. The streets lined with orange-robed monks have become its universal identity. Whether you are a backpacker, a thrill seeker or a soul searcher, the fairytale landscapes of Laos provide the perfect setting for outdoor adventures. Zip through the jungle, take a dip into cool waterfalls and explore the caves in the wilderness. Cruise over mighty Mekong and take a peek into the life of villagers who open up their hearts and homes to strangers, where you can walk in, eat a meal and sail onwards. In the land of temples where Buddhism is a way of life, the pace of life is deeper and not faster. The laidback life of Laos incites the journey within whether you sought it or not. All in all Laos is here to give and give beyond!
