Cruise the Mekong River

Mekong river is the blood of Laos, which does not only supply the water for daily life, but also the easiest route to connect the different mountainous parts of the country.

Luang Prabang itself has plenty of benefits from the river, especially for tourism. Cruising the mighty Mekong is one of the most exciting experience when travelling to Luang Prabang.

During day time, you can either take the upstream cruise to the mysterious Pak Ou cave in the north of the city; or enjoy the leisure downstream cruise to Kuang Si waterfall in the south.

Along the way, there are plenty of stop to visit the local authentic traditional villages to learn about traditional weaving, saa paper making, or wine distilling.

Before the dust falls over the city, it is also the best time to enjoy a sunset cruise and have dinner on board while watching the traditional dance & folk song. Further detail in the Sunset and Dinner Cruise below.
