Travel Itinerary
Day 1 - Houyxai to Camping site
After breakfast you will board our private boat to begin your two-day trip down the Mekong River to the camping site. You will enjoy the beautiful Mekong River valleys and incredible scenery, including lush farmlands, mountains and cliffs, and life along the river. You will see children swimming and splashing in the Mekong River, water buffaloes bathing, and all manner of boats used for traveling up and down the river.
(The Mekong River is the longest river in Southeast Asia, traveling through six countries from the Himalaya Mountains to the South China Sea, a journey of more than 4800 kilometers. After the Amazon River in South America, it is the longest river on the planet.
On arrival at the camping site, you will prepare your tent lodging for that night. The evening’s activities will also include playing games with children and spending time with residents of the local community. Before going to bed, you will participate in a Baci Ceremony, a traditional Lao custom in which cotton yarn is tied to your wrists to welcome you to Laos and to extend good luck for your journey.
Day 2 - Camping site to LuangPrabang
Get up early in the morning, greeted with fresh air and the smell of fires from villagers preparing breakfast. Pack your tents and then enjoy your own coffee, tea and breakfast in this unique setting before continuing the cruise down the river to Luang Prabang. The trip will take about 6 hours.
Along the way, you will stop at Pak Ou Cave, also known as Buddha Cave (Tham Thing) and home to more than 4000 Buddha images and statues. It’s a fascinating site built into the cliffs above the river. It’s a great photo op.
After the cave visit, you’ll return to the cruise boat and proceed to Luang Prabang. Expect to arrive late afternoon, just in time for a great sunset welcome.
