OVERVIEW

A spectacular 8 days journey of discovery through the heart of Laos and wonderful cruise in 4000 islands in the South of Laos

The far south of Laos is made up of four provinces: Attapeu, Champasak, Sekong and Salavan. This region borders Vietnam to the east, Thailand to the west and Cambodia to the south.

A contrasting combination of archetypal Mekong River life, the cooler climes of the Bolaven Plateau and three remote and little-visited eastern provinces make southern Laos a real mixed bag of tasty offerings. The whole area remains refreshingly raw, but as in the rest of Laos a series of community-based tourism projects have made getting inside Lao-style life easier than ever.
