This full day tour takes you to some destinations. The time in each destination can be flexible as your request as soon as it doesn’t affect the whole plan.
At the departure time, you will be greeted and picked up at your hotel’s lobby by an English speaking tour guide and a driver.
You will be firstly transferred to the suburb areas of Luang Prabang. Here, you are going to visit the beautiful weaving center, Ock Pop Tok.

It must be an interesting experience that you should have there. Besides, you can buy some silk products as souvenirs for your relatives and friends.
After that, you will stop by the Mekong River, relax, have a fresh cup of coffee or tea and enjoy the peaceful view over the river.
Then, you continue driving to Ban Houy Thong which is about 300 meters higher than Luang Prabang. Here you can enjoy a stunning view over the valley. Your next destination is the Khmu ethnic village where you can not only enjoy the beauty of nature but also daily life of the locals. You will take a short walk (about 1.5 hour) through beautiful rice fields and lush jungle forests. You will explore these areas with the support of the English speaking guide.
