Laos Highlands Tours & Trips

Ever heard of Laos' mountainous regions? The highlands offer hill tribe villages maintaining traditional lifestyles, trekking through forests, and staying in homestays. You're experiencing Hmong, Khmu, and other ethnic groups' cultures, seeing landscapes completely different from Vientiane or Luang Prabang. The Bolaven Plateau has coffee plantations and waterfalls, while northern provinces like Phongsali are seriously remote. It's truly authentic.

Great tour! Everything went smoothly from airport pickup to train station drop off. The hotel was in a central location so you can explore the city by foot. The Night market, Mekong river, Phousi hill, and lots of restaurants were within walking distance from the hotel. The day activities were totally worth it. The tour guides for the activities were all very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour!

Guides were really good and very flexible. Transfers to and from the airport were seamless. The only issue was the train from Vientiane to Luang Prabang, we were not advised that we were unable to take open bottles in our luggage, so two almost full bottles of spirits were confiscated which had a value of around AUD140. I would also suggest in future that the train should be first class, our second-class trip was a nightmare. The carriage was totally full with other passengers taking our seats and refusing to move. Apart from the train issues, we had a lovely trip and enjoyed the free time afforded.
