Mount Phousi

Luang Prabang, Laos has so many incredible things to see and do – whether you’re interested in communing with nature, learning more about local culture, walking through beautiful temples, or shopping for tasty treats and souvenirs. Don’t miss these 15 top attractions in the former Royal capital.
In addition to the absolutely stunning views of what is arguably one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world, there are tons of other activities in the town to check out. You might even stay over night in order to leisurely enjoy the nature. Make a pit stop at the Laos Buffalo Dairy on the way out for cheese, ice cream and to feed the baby buffalo. Then spend an hour or two at the Luang Prabang Butterfly Garden. Save the Bears sanctuary is just past the gates on the way to the falls. Above the falls, a man sells beer and soft drinks and takes visitors on a raft farther up stream.
Whether you get on a boat for 10 minutes on your way from Luang Prabang to the Botanical gardens, or for 11 days travelling up the Mekong from Luang Prabang to the Golden Triangle with Mekong River Cruises, you’re bound to have a greater appreciation for Southeast Asia’s largest river. Catch the sunset and watch the fishermen casting their nets against the karst mountain backdrop.
