Laos - the land that
time forgot
Buddha’s
and statuary resting for centuries in ancient pagodas, mendicant
saffron-robed monks assiduously seeking alms, and pristine hills that
serve as endless markers of Asian history, time gives the illusion of
standing still in Laos. As the least developed and populated country in
Indochina, one feels the calm of a country ordered by Buddha himself.
With an elephant population numbering in excess of a million, Laos has a
primitive charm that places mind and body in a state of synchronicity
felt few other places in the modern world. The lack of foreign influence
offers tourists an unparalleled glimpse into the simplicity of
traditional South East Asian life.
Rural Laos is a veritable smorgasbord for the senses. The sights, sounds
and smells of this exotic destination are unique in all of the world. It
is a place that boasts rare species of plant, animal and insect life.
A land locked country that has opened herself to exploration and been
dubbed one of Asia’s “great new adventure tourism destinations”.
Laos is a land of stunning natural beauty. Part of the beauty stems from
the diversity of geographical experiences available to the traditional
or adventure tourist.
Laos
has vast mountain ranges, beautiful gorges, mighty rivers, and forests
filled with rich and exotic fauna and flora. And around any corner one
might find an amazing waterfall simply awaiting your discovery.
The natural beauty here makes it one of the best places in the region
for adventure tourism. If you are an avid hiker, birder, trekker,
cyclist or canyon, you are certain to fall in love with Laos. Come to
Laos to escape the headaches of a 24-hour world, and wander the quiet
streets of Vientiane. Leave the world behind on a luxury cruise down the
Mekong River. Visit ancient Wat Phou, Angkor Wat's older (and
impressive) older brother. Lose yourself under the green canopies of the
primordial forests.
Visit Laos and experience the beauty of heaven on earth!
