Laos is the country where travelers can really escape from the stress of the modern world and get into the tranquility of the world dominated by Buddhism. One of the highlights of Laos is Luang Prabang nestled in the northern mountains. The ancient city is recognized as one of only a few World Heritage sites by UNESCO. No traffic jams, monks seeking their morning alms, ancient temples, Luang Prabang is filled with traditional Laotian lore. Take a bicycle, or an inner tube, and explore the majestic wilderness and history of Luang Prabang.
