Land of a million elephants, Laos is a comparatively undiscovered country.  Now, after two decades of isolation from the outside world, this landlocked, sparsely populated country is enjoying peace, stabilising its political and economic structures and admitting foreign visitors once more. A mystical land of mountains and forests it has so far escaped the dramatic industrial development that has gripped most of its neighbouring countries thus making it a country of true discovery and adventure.

The country offers real tranquillity with its French colonial character still very much intact along with many Buddhist temples and pagodas. There is much to interest everyone from the intrepid explorer to the most novice traveller or business person seeking that opportunity of a lifetime. Now that things are opening up again, hotels have re-opened or are being built and the general infrastructure is improving on a daily basis.

The capital Vientiane, situated on the banks of the mighty Mekong river has changed little over the years and still offers an exotic veneer of French Culture.

Luang Prabang, the old royal capital of Laos is one of Asia's most beautiful cities in the country.  Surrounded by forested mountains, the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers, old villas, temples and civic buildings nestle among palms and tropical foliage that offer photographic opportunities like no other and beg your discovery.

Be a true adventure seeker and discover this fascinating land for yourself!
