Hotel - 2 nights
Luang Prabang
Drive to Luang Prabang (approx 6-7 hrs).
The atmospheric World Heritage-listed city of Luang Prabang is a favourite of many. Nestled in the hills of northern Laos on the confluence of the Mekong and Khan rivers, it's studded with ornate temples and French colonial architecture.Follow dusty tracks along the river to find villages full of friendly children, dogs and chickens. Vientiane's vibrant, colourful morning market (which incidentally is open all day!) is full of local treasures. A great way to round off the day is to enjoy a spectacular sunset over the Mekong.Head out to the beautiful Kuang Si Falls, where pale turquoise waters cascade over limestone formations. The lovely pool at the base of the falls is perfect for a refreshing afternoon dip.Enjoy a guided tour around the Traditional Art & Ethnology centre - a non-profit museum dedicated to the collection, preservation, and interpretation of its traditional arts and lifestyles. Guesthouse - 3 nights
Tat Lo/Bolaven Plateau
Catch a short flight to the sleepy southern town of Pakse, at the base of the Bolaven Plateau.
Take a moderate trek on to the Plateau (approx 2 hrs) - an area of picturesque coffee plantations and home to a wide variety of ethnic groups with diverse cultures and beliefs. Palm-thatched houses dot the landscape and buffaloes graze next to small vegetable plots, providing ample photo opportunities. Take time here to explore local villages for an insight into tribal culture - many Alak and Katu tribespeople inhabit this region, and fascinating customs such as facial tattoos and buffalo sacrifice are still practised here. There are also many beautiful waterfalls nearby, such as Tat Fan, and plenty of wildlife such as hornbills, monkeys and butterflies may be seen in the thick forests surrounding these cascading waters. Hotel - 2 nights
Don Khong
Today after catching a boat to the Island of Don khong you will have free time to explore. Why not hire a bicycle of head out on another boat trip and explore this fabulous region. That evening you will then stay at a village where the locals adhere to a very traditional lifestyle. Homestay - 1 night (D)
Kratie
Continuing further south, cross the border into Cambodia and journey by bus to Stung Treng, a real outpost town.
Stop for lunch at Mekong Blue, a silk weaving centre which provides jobs for women in the Stung Treng province. See the process of silk production from Mulberry tree to finished product and enjoy tasty Khmer food in the pretty surroundings.Kratie is a picturesque town on the banks of the Mekong. Until recently Kratie was a strategic trading port on the river between Phnom Penh and Stung Treng. Both the French and Khmer Rouge found the town useful and there are a number of French colonial buildings that remain.Board a local barge from Kratie waterfront to the Island of Koh Trong for our Cambodian homestay. Once arriving on the island there is the opportunity to cycle (by local bicycle) or pony cart a circuit around the island. Hotel - 1 night (B)
Phnom Penh
Get ready for a long day on the bus to Phnom Penh. En route, we pass through Skuon (a small town famous for its tasty spiders), where it's possible to sample an eight-legged snack. It's recommended that you eat these furry arachnids as you would a crab, by cracking the body open and pulling the legs off one by one - delicious!
Phnom Penh, Cambodia's capital, is set on a major junction of the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers and boasts some fine examples of French-inspired architecture.Confront Cambodia's tragic past on a guided tour of the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, a former school which served as a Khmer Rouge torture centre. It's estimated that more than 20,000 people were held and tortured here.Head out to the Choeung Ek Memorial, where a stupa made up of some 8,000 human skulls marks the site of the infamous Killing Fields. This was the execution ground for the torture victims of Tuol Sleng and standing in this peaceful setting it's almost unthinkable to imagine that to date nearly 9000 corpses have been exhumed from the area.Learn about a brighter period in Cambodian history with a visit to the Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda.Stroll along the famous Sisowath Quay and enjoy a coffee or cocktail at one of the many cafes while observing the busy river traffic. Hotel - 2 nights (Bx1)
Siem Reap & Angkor Wat
Take a bus to Siem Reap.
The small but expanding town of Siem Reap is the gateway to Angkor. It's markets are a great place to shop or to try some cheap, delicious street food.Temple-hop with our local guide to make the most of our visit to the world-famous Angkor complex. These temples were built between the 9th and 13th centuries when the Khmer empire was the pre-eminent influence in South-East Asia. The temples were believed to represent the cosmic world and were set in perfect balance, symmetry and composition. The intricately carved bas-reliefs and architectural designs are mind-blowing and there are spectacular photographic opportunities at any time of day - watching a sunrise or sunset is a must. The ruins are scattered over an area of some 160 sq km, but the main cluster of temples is close to Siem Reap so we'll have plenty of time to fully appreciate the great archaeological sites of Angkor Wat, the Bayon and the jungle-covered Ta Prohm. Hotel - 3 nights (Bx3)
Siem Reap
Fly home via Bangkok. (B)
