Fall in love with Laos

Laos is not as well known as its neighbours on the Indochina peninsula but it is every bit as beautiful and very hard to beat for rich history, culture and wildlife. This landlocked, mainly mountainous country is relatively small and can be explored easily so is a great option for those that do not have too much time to wander or want to take things slowly. Its excellent location means you can also combine a trip with other countries such as Vietnam,Thailand and Cambodia.

There are incredible UNESCO world heritage sights such as the town of Luang Prabang which seamlessly mixes Buddhist temples with French Colonial architecture. For those craving a bit more activity, there are lots of opportunities to take a boat trip on the Mekong river, see stunning waterfalls and explore caves. For foodies, Laos' complex history means there is a wide variety of cuisine and larger towns and cities like Vientiane offer a vibrant cafe culture. 

Laos is a Purpose Travel favourite as it still feels like one of South East Asia's best kept secrets. It has arguably some of the most diverse wildlife of this region too with new species being discovered every year. There are measures in place to protect this too with 20 National Protected Areas across the country. 

• wandering Luang Prabang and taking in the sights from Buddhist temples to Wat Xieng Thong monastery. 

• exploring rice fields in the north at one of the beautiful farms such as Living Land Rice Farm or hiking in one of the national parks

• taking a boat trip on the legandary Mekong river and marvelling at the scenery

• sampling some of the delicious food on offer at one of the night markets such as the riverside market in Vientiane

• visiting one of the stunning coffee plantations in the south
