Nestling between the Mekong and the Khan rivers, time stands still in Luang Prabang, the perfect place to begin your Laos holiday where the past seems more alive than the present. The country’s varied topography is home to the flat plains of the remote Bolovens Plateau, the Khong Pha Pheng Falls, the mysterious Plain of Jars and hill tribes in the forests of the north.
