Laos (Lao People’s Democratic Republic) is a lush country of mountains, plateaus, and plains in mainland Southeast Asia. Most of the country is forested, making it challenging to travel along the mountain roads. Every trip is worthwhile, though. There are many breathtaking places to discover. In Laos, you can also travel along Mekong River, known to locals as the Mother River (Mae Nam Khong). This mighty waterway links Laos from north to south and feeds its fertile rice paddies. Most of the population thrives along the river. The daily life of this landlocked country is shaped by Buddhism and Hinduism. As such, you can visit Buddha Park (Wat Xieng Khouane Luang) and Pha That Luang Vientiane. You can also explore the gorgeous Kuang Si Waterfall or the bustling local night markets.
Laos offers enriching experiences and welcoming accommodations. For a unique stay, read about the top yoga retreats in Laos.

Tip from Content Creator
This hotel in Vang Vieng will put you in the perfect spot to explore the town's truly spectacular and impressive limestone mountains! I recommend renting a scooter to explore the scenic back roads (just be careful because the roads aren’t the best). For the most amazing view of the Nam Song River and epic photos, drive 30 minutes north to Ban Pha Tang village!
