Luang Prabang, Laos - A Triad of Tranquility

Enter into the serene landscapes of the unspoiled ancient beauty of Laos. Each destination holds unique treasures and spiritual sanctuaries that will leave you feeling blessed. Join the ritual of alms giving to the monks. This ritual isn’t just an act. It’s a spiritual bond. Through these offerings, locals aspire for blessings and positive karma, and in return, the monks bestow merit, ensuring spiritual harmony for you.

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.

Highlights of the Journey:
  • Luang Prabang, UNESCO Heritage Town
  • Vientiane, peaceful capital city of Laos
Discover 2 capitals of Laos: the cultural capital and UNESCO town Luang Prabang with a French colonial touch and the country’s capital mixing traditions and modernity, with a stay in a real urban jungle retreat. Both destinations are connected by the Mighty Mekong River. The itinerary can start or end in Vientiane.

Day 1 : Airport to Vientiane (-/-/-)

After welcoming you on arrival at Vientiane Airport. Short drive (20mn) to Lao Poet Hotel and check in for 2 nights. Follow your host through a visit of the property. No other arrangements for the day, so you can relax by the pool of the roof top, or go for a walk around, Vientiane is a pleasant city to walk. Dinner, at leisure.

Day 2 : Vientiane (B/-/-)

Today, after breakfast adapt to the laid-back lifestyle of Vientiane. Unlike other hectic capital cities in Asian Vientiane, located on the right bank of the lazy Mekong, is languid and so this is great opportunity to slow down without guilt and enjoy a quiet morning. After lunch, a guide will pick you up for half day sightseeing visit around the city by car – the program is not fixed, and the guide will propose some temples, monuments, Buddha park... Back to the hotel before dinner.

Day 4 & 5 : Vientiane - Luang Prabang (B/-/D)

During the 2 full days in Luang Prabang, no specific arrangements have been made, we can decide on site together with the concierge at Satri House. We recommend to wake up just before sunrise one morning for the ritual offering to the Monks in the old part of the town. If you wish, Satri House team can prepare some offerings for you. You should leave the hotel at 5.30am to the main street in the center of the old town. Ask for a briefing on the signification and the “procedure”, before participating, as a respect for the monks then take position on the sidewalk.

You may take a bicycle from the hotel and go around the town, stop to visit temples, the market or museums. Unless you prefer to go by walk. Or simply relax in the hotel by one of the 2 pools or the lotus ponds. A Tasting Menu at Paste restaurant will be arranged one of these two evenings. The menu is included in the package, we recommend to ask us to book the table before arriving in Luang Prabang.
