Laos in South East Asia may be landlocked, but this beautiful mountainous land has no shortage of natural beauty.
As the mighty Mekong River makes its way through the hilly jungles of the north to the flat southern lowlands – mainly undiscovered this is a real opportunity to step off the beaten track and to see some of the most authentic unspoilt lands that remain today.
The opening of these lands to travellers will undisputedly change the face of Laos, visiting now whilst tourism is young will guarantee that you see how this civilisation has existed, untouched by the excesses of the Western world – this opportunity won’t be around forever, so be sure to make the most of it whilst you still can.
