A Land of Uncompromising Serenity and Peace

The tranquil country of Laos unites untamed natural beauty with its deep ethnic background to give you the most serene vacation possible.

Peaceful Living

Laos holds tight to its Buddhist tradition, living each day peacefully and gracefully. Each visit to Laos gives a unique spin on the Southeast Asia Experience, for it is one of the most laid-back countries in the world. Whether you seek Laos travel packages for a romantic getaway, or if you wish to expand your family’s cultural horizons, Laos luxury travel fuses adventure and wilderness to give you an exhilarating experience.

Endless Opportunities

The opportunities in Laos are endless: bathe in an herbal sauna, trek through the forested mountains of the north or kayak around the gothic limestone karsts of Vang Vieng in the south. This calm land of mountains and mist will be sure to satisfy any journey you are seeking. Submerge yourself in the Lao culture as you watch hundreds of saffron-robed monks move silently among centuries-old monasteries or share a bottle of Beerlao with a loved one as you watch the sun set on the Mekong River.

Let Laos' gentle culture and stunning countryside captivate you

Landlocked Laos is the least visited out of its Southeast Asian neighbours, but its small, enchanting cities, gentle culture, and lush, unspoiled scenery should definitely not be overlooked. Let us take you there with all the style, luxury and local expertise that Jacada can bring; your bespoke itinerary can feature as much or as little as you like, and you can easily combine Laos with Cambodia , Vietnam , Thailand , and beyond for a well-rounded trip.

Tranquil  Luang Prabang  is set on the banks of the Mekong River and captures the heart of every traveller that visits the old French-influenced city; visit its gilded, picturesque Buddhist temples and rise early to witness the daily procession of saffron-clad monks collecting alms from the local residents. Venture out into the jungle on an elephant trek, and head off the beaten track into the north to stay in one of our favourite rainforest lodges, set in a village by some hot springs. In the sleepy capital Vientiane , spend time wandering past French colonial mansions and watch a fiery sunset over the Mekong. Pre-Angkor ruins draw travellers to  Don Daeng  and Champasak in southern Laos, while the Four Thousand Islands of the Mekong offer the ideal setting in which to truly unwind and maybe spot the rare pink dolphin.

Witness the daily procession of saffron-clad monks collecting alms from the local residents at  Luang Prabang.

Head to Oudomxay to discover lush rain-forests and unearth the traditional Lao lifestyle in friendly tribal villages.

Steal views of water buffalo’s bathing and fishermen flinging nets in Don Daeng.

Attempt to catch a glimpse of the rare Irrawaddy river dolphin on the Mekong river.

Travel Designer

Laos is a real hidden gem where ancient Buddhist temples sit alongside elegant colonial buildings, all set against a backdrop of breathtaking natural beauty. Kayak up the Mekong River and trek to spectacular waterfalls one day, then while away the hours sipping the superb local coffee and watching the world go by the next. I truly recommend Laos for a laidback, rural adventure.

Explore Laos

The former capital city of Luang Prabang boasts a multitude of attractions, including vividly-coloured temples, cascading waterfalls, and French-colonial architecture. Wander down the busy streets and discover the ancient monasteries, hunt for bargains in the night markets, and cycle anywhere between the old quarter to the rugged mountains beyond the city limits.

This island is part of the 4,000 islands that make up the picturesque riverine archipelago. Here you can venture out on foot or bicycle and take the time to witness the natural beauty and unspoilt charm of the island, or travel to the nearby town of Champasak to traipse around the pretty wooden houses and small restaurants along the waterfront.

Vientiane retains a laid-back charm bereft of most capital cities, and its compact size makes it easy to explore on foot. There’s a pleasing lack of traffic as a result. Climb atop a replica of Paris’s Arc de Triomphe and enjoy the views from the deck or visit Ho Phra Keo, a scenic temple complex set in immaculate gardens.

Nestled within the fertile rainforest, this region is home to over 500 villages where traditional life still prevails, all waiting to educate you on their languages and customs. Some of our favourite sights around the region include the tranquil Huay Nam Kat Waterfall and the expansive, cathedral-like Chom Ong Cave, from which the Nam Kaeng River flows.

When to visit

Although this is a year-round destination, the best time to visit Laos is during the months of November to April. This period offers warm days and cool nights along with clear skies and lower humidity, making it ideal for exploring the country’s natural beauty and engaging in outdoor activities. The temperatures are generally mild, although cooler in the northern regions, making it comfortable for sightseeing and trekking.
