Laos Tour Packages – Planning your trip Laos tour packages in a country that is fast becoming the popular tourist destination in Indochina and surely in Asia. Laos, satisfying all the romantic images of perfumed frangipani trees, saffron-robed monks, rusty old bicycles and golden temples, all set among a rich tapestry of tropical river islands, ethnic minority villages, cascading waterfalls and vivid green rice paddies, and bound together by the mighty Mekong River, the country’s lifeline. The vernacular architecture, which other countries have swept away in a maelstrom of redevelopment, survives in Laos.
Simple wooden village homes, colonial-era brick and stucco shop houses and gently moldering monasteries mark Laos out as different. Traditional customs are also firmly intact: incense wafts out street side wats, monks collect alms at daybreak and the cricket-clack of looms weaving richly colored silk can be heard in most villages.
