Laos Cultural Holidays

Whether it is ancient, lichen-covered temples or intricate old-world art that you want to tick off your bucket list, Laos cultural holidays are guaranteed to deliver. Wat Phu’s ruined Khmer complex is Laos’ most revered group of temples. Spread over the verdant lower slopes of Phu Pasak, these moss-shrouded buildings make up one of the oldest archeological sites in Laos and due to its age, earned the title of UNESCO World Heritage Site. Art afficionados will be in heaven in the Traditional Art and Ethnology Centre in Luang Prabang, the spiritual heart of the country, where ancient skills including weaving and traditional music are brought together to educate curious travellers. Diving deep into Laos’ rural south is not something most travellers do, but Paske and the Bolaven Plateau are beautiful places to explore and learn about authentic coffee harvesting and processing techniques. Head into the hills with an expert guide to explore how families have survived in this region for centuries. Unpeeling layers of history on a cultural voyage through Laos should be on the list for your next adventure. Read more
