Luang Prabang City Tour og Kuang Si-vandfaldene
Beskrivelse
Denne heldags private tur kombinerer en Luang Prabang bytur med en eftermiddagsudflugt til Kuang Si-vandfaldet. I Luang Prabang vil du besøge forskellige templer og kongelige paladser og lære om Laos historiekultur og det lokale liv. Når du går med en lokal guide, vil du høre historier om templernes og byens historie, buddhistiske historier og legender malet over templernes vægge og mere, hvilket giver dig en smagsprøve på Luang Prabangs kultur. Om eftermiddagen tager vi til Kuang Si-vandfaldet. Der vil være tid til at bade i de smaragdgrønne vandfald og besøge et bjørneredningscenter. På vejen tilbage besøger vi en Hmong-landsby og får mulighed for at møde de etniske minoriteter og få et glimt af deres kultur.

Rejseplan
[Kun mulighed for 05:30] I buddhismen er almisse eller almisse den respekt, som en lægbuddhist giver til en buddhistisk munk, nonne, åndeligt udviklet person eller et andet følende væsen. Det er ikke velgørenhed som antaget af vestlige tolke. Det er vigtigt at vide, at ceremonien også er en spirituel praksis for at akkumulere god karma for dem, der giver almissen. Det er tættere på en symbolsk forbindelse til det åndelige område og at vise ydmyghed og respekt i nærvær af det sekulære samfund. Almissehandlingen forbinder mennesket med munken og det, han repræsenterer. At give morgenalmisser er en levende buddhistisk tradition for befolkningen i Luang Prabang, som på grund af sin skønhed er blevet en stor turistattraktion. Men når turister er uvidende om dets skikke, kan deres upassende adfærd være forstyrrende.
[kun 5:30 mulighedsrundvisning] I Efter at have givet almisser besøger vi et lokalt morgenmarked. Luang Prabang morgenmarked langs et par stille gader nær det kongelige palads, starter tidligt og er slut midt på formiddagen. Det stiller op langs et par sidegader ved siden af en af byens mange Wats. En slagter og nogle af de mere turistede boder har egentlige borde til deres varer. Men de fleste sælgere, der sælger alt fra ris, til friske grøntsager, til dampet fisk, frøer og alt andet, der kan være dagens fangst, er bare stillet op på jorden. Vi går tilbage til din bolig og har fri tid til morgenmad indtil kl. 8.30.
Den anden del af denne tur begynder ved Riverview Park på halvøens spids. Du får en kort introduktion til Luang Prabang, stående hvor Nam Khan-floden møder Mekong-floden. Gå derfra til det berømte Wat Xieng Thong-tempel.
Wat Xiengthong blev betragtet som den ceremonielle port til byen og var ankomst- og afgangsstedet for udenlandske dignitærer i århundreder. Vi går op ad trappen til hovedporten og går ind i templet som gamle dignitærer. Wat Xieng Thong, engang kendt som "Den Gyldne Bys Tempel", har stor kulturel, historisk og arkitektonisk betydning. Det er roligt beliggende nær spidsen af halvøen ved sammenløbet af Mekong- og Nam Khan-floderne, med en storslået trappe, der fører op fra Mekong. (Entré 30.000 kr.)
Dernæst tager vi på tempelhop i nabolaget. Ved Wat Sene, hvor der er en skole for nybegyndermunke, kan du mødes igen med nybegyndermunke, du mødte på morgenalmissen. Templet blev bygget i 1718 af kong Kitsarath med 100.000 sten fra Mekong-floden. Det betyder bogstaveligt talt "tempel med 100.000 skatte"
[Museet er lukket den sidste torsdag i hver måned og kan ikke besøges] Vi besøger Det Kongelige Slot. Det kongelige palads, som i dag er nationalmuseet og bygget af franske kolonialister mellem 1904-09, viser en smuk samling af artefakter, der afspejler rigdommen i Laos kultur. (Entré 60.000 kr.)
Morgenturen slutter med en stigning op ad Phousi Hill. Når du rejser dig 150 m i centrum af byen, nyder du en spektakulær 360 graders udsigt over byen og dens mange templer og over det omkringliggende landskab til bjergene i det fjerne. (Entré 30.000 kr.) Fritid indtil om eftermiddagen til at tage til vandfaldet
Kuang Si vandfald
[Kun fælles tur muligheder] Rejsen fortsætter, som vi følger vandets sti til Kuang Si Heritage Rice Farm. Vidne til, hvordan falls' vand irrigerer de terrasserede paddies og smage frisk, traditionelt presset sukkerrørsaft. Du vil se førstehånds den vitale forbindelse mellem skoven, vandet og den lokale livsstil. Afslut din uforglemmelige dag med en storslået solnedgangskrydstogt, hvor du vender tilbage til Luang Prabang omkring kl. 18.30. Denne blide rejse tilbage på Mekong fanger perfekt den rolige ånd i dit eventyr.

This was essentially a walking tour of Luang Prabang, with an added visit to a beautiful series of waterfalls about 30 km away. My guide was a former Buddhist monk from a highlands tribe who provided great insight into how Laos is culturally "put together" among the various population groups. He was also easily able to relate the stories behind the temple displays, and explain the meaning of the rituals performed there.
The falls were great. 2 hours were allotted to spend there. Opportunities to swim, visit the bear refuge, zip line or climb to the tree top cafe. The stop along the way at the Hmong village seemed rather rushed and an afterthought though since we were rushing to have more time at the falls. We had a good guide who gave commentary on the drive to and back from the falls.
Tiring morning driving, too many unnecessary details, for the rest it is really worth it, well organized and beautiful places, probably the organization for the Tak Bar, can be improved.
After the takuhatsu, they came back to the hotel to pick us up again, and we went sightseeing in the city, and then back to the hotel again, and finally it was a waterfall process. There was no guide who spoke Japanese when he came to pick me up, but when I got to the Takuhatsu place, there was a guide and he taught me about Laos very carefully. I can rest assured that nothing in particular has happened! You can go in and play at Quancy Falls, so you should take a swimsuit or wear one. Also, if you want to climb, you should go with sneakers (it's very slippery depending on the route, you might need a towel if you want to go into the pool) because you can climb (and sometimes the gaijin go to the English guide, although I picked up three times but I ride the bus with a lot of people. I might be able to walk around the city if I tried, but I was right to join the tour because I was traveling around Laos by car or motorbike. The takuhatsu was also early in the morning, but I recommend it. Quancy Falls was also great. I found it wonderful that they were guides who spoke both Japanese and English. Thank you very much.
Started the day with alms giving followed by walking the morning fresh market. After breakfast, visited the Royal Palace (now a museum), the Haw Phra Bang temple and Phousi Hill. After lunch, visited a small village and Kuang Si waterfall. Quite a lot done in a day - all of which were wonderful. Both guides (morning and afternoon) were excellent.
Activities during the day were great! Just a very packed day and therefore sometimes too little time at some places. Overall great experience!
😊 Got the mix of fun activities but maybe a bit too jam-packed 😅. Would you say it was worth it or would you tweak the schedule next time?
The entire tour, that is, early in the morning give the monks rice, then morning market, after breakfast the lookout point, royal palace and temple, and after lunch the drive to the falls and Hmong village is already a great program. Organization, leadership, drivers are all excellent. Unfortunately, Luang Prabang is now a totally overrun tourist place, many groups with the group-typical ruthlessness, it is necessary to avoid them. The Hmong village was really precarious in my eyes, here the country and the tourist organization does itself no favors to show this.
Thank you for your kind appreciation. I truly value your recognition and it means a lot to me. Your words of encouragement have motivated me to continuously strive for excellence. I assure you that I will use your positive feedback as a driving force to improve my performance further and contribute more effectively to the team and the company. Once again, I appreciate your gratitude and I am grateful to be part of such a supportive team under our leadership
We took the option of entering offerings to the Monks in the morning and the truth our guide was not friendly. Then, when we were joined by more people, while his attitude improved, he was not a good guide. Afterwards, he took us to lunch at a restaurant that we could not choose (not included in the value of the tour) and when 15 minutes passed since the dishes were brought, he started to rush us because more people joined the tour and we had to finish lunch, so I could not eat my whole plate. We didn’t know that more people (twice as many) were going to join the tour and they changed the guide without warning, which was ill-mannered and the Van didn’t have the necessary safety measures for the seats ahead. Besides, when I asked him a question about the option of taking a boat, he was rude to me.
Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent Luang Prabang City Tour and Kuang Si Waterfalls excursion. We sincerely apologize for the series of frustrations you experienced; this is far from the high standard of hospitality we aim to provide. First and foremost, please accept our deepest apologies for the incident at the restaurant. It is completely unacceptable that you were directed to a place without choice and, even worse, rushed to finish your meal only 15 minutes after being served. We understand how stressful and disappointing this must have been, especially as you were looking forward to a relaxed lunch. We also take your comments regarding our guide’s lack of communication and professionalism very seriously. We clearly failed to inform you about the change in group size and the transition between guides. A guide's role is to be helpful and respectful, and it is distressing to hear that you were treated rudely when asking a simple question about the boat option. Furthermore, we have noted your concerns regarding the safety measures in our vehicle. Please be assured that we are currently reviewing our guide assignments and vehicle safety protocols to ensure this does not happen again. We value your honesty, as it highlights the areas where we must improve. We would like to make things right—please feel free to contact us directly so we can discuss this further. Sincerely, Yuki
Enjoyed our tour very much! Our guide Boune took told us interesting info about Luang Prabang, and helped take our photos. He is very funny also! We started really early, and the program went on as planned without feeling like we were rushing.
Manifa Travel I joined a sightseeing tour of the city with a Japanese guide, Quanshi Falls. In the morning we went with a group of five Japanese people and seven of us. They will participate in Elephant Camp Elephant Empowerment Tour in the afternoon, The afternoon tour is just for us. The tour was kept to itself by the Japanese guide. Mr. Kang's explanation was easy to understand and he was courteous. It was a lot of fun. It was also a kind and wonderful tour. Thank you very much. The driver was also a very nice person and gave me a plastic bottle. I thanked him for our poor Laotian "kop chai" and he returned it with a smile. He was a lovely man with a smile. Thank you very much, Mr. Kang, the Japanese guide, and the driver.
