Leave only footprints

This is a holiday that will satisfy your adventurous needs as thoroughly as your cultural desires. Journeying south through Laos, you'll trek to minority hill-tribe villages, travel by water and back-roads, explore the World Heritage sites of Luang Prabang and Wat Phou, kayak down the rivers, and stay at eco-resorts at both ends of this laid-back land.

As with all our holidays, we have created lots of free time for you to enjoy as you please. If you would prefer a more ‘complete’ travel programme, we will be happy to oblige. We can also tailor this holiday to meet your exact needs - your holiday, your way.
