5 days in Luang Prabang Itinerary

Designated a World Heritage Site in 1995, Luang Prabang sits at the meeting point of two rivers and offers numerous opportunities for sailing, climbing, and exploring scenic caves and waterfalls.

Visit Wat Sensoukharam and Wat Mai Suwannaphumaham for their historical value. Discover out-of-the-way places like Wat Xieng Mouane and Nahm Dong Park.

And it doesn't end there: play a few rounds at Luang Prabang Golf Club, pause for some serene contemplation at Wat Nong Sikhounmuang, contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Wat Choumkhong, and identify plant and animal life at Kuang Si Butterfly Farm.
