Itinerario
[Solo opción de las 5:30 am] En el budismo, la limosna o la limosna es el respeto dado por un budista laico a un monje, monja, persona espiritualmente desarrollada u otro ser sintiente budista. No es caridad como suponen los intérpretes occidentales. Es importante saber que la ceremonia también es una práctica espiritual para acumular buen karma para quienes dan la limosna. Está más cerca de una conexión simbólica con el ámbito espiritual y de mostrar humildad y respeto en presencia de la sociedad secular. El acto de dar limosna conecta al ser humano con el monje y lo que él representa. La limosna matutina es una tradición budista viva para la gente de Luang Prabang que, debido a su belleza, se ha convertido en una importante atracción turística. Sin embargo, cuando los turistas desconocen sus costumbres sus comportamientos inapropiados pueden resultar perturbadores.
[Solo tour opcional de las 5:30] I Después de dar limosna, visitamos un mercado local por la mañana. El mercado matutino de Luang Prabang, que se extiende por un par de calles tranquilas cerca del Palacio Real, comienza temprano y termina a media mañana. Se encuentra a lo largo de un par de calles laterales junto a uno de los muchos Wats de la ciudad. Un carnicero y algunos de los puestos más turísticos tienen mesas reales para sus productos. Pero la mayoría de los vendedores, que venden cualquier cosa, desde arroz hasta verduras frescas, pescado al vapor, ranas y cualquier otra cosa que pueda ser la pesca del día, simplemente se instalan en el suelo. Regresamos a su alojamiento y tenemos tiempo libre para desayunar hasta las 8:30 am.
La segunda parte de este recorrido comienza en Riverview Park en la punta de la península. Tendrá una breve introducción a Luang Prabang, de pie donde el río Nam Khan se encuentra con el río Mekong. Desde allí, camine hasta el famoso templo Wat Xieng Thong.
Wat Xiengthong fue considerado la puerta ceremonial a la ciudad y fue el punto de llegada y salida de dignatarios extranjeros durante siglos. Subiremos las escaleras hasta la puerta principal y entraremos al templo como antiguos dignatarios. Wat Xieng Thong, alguna vez conocido como "El Templo de la Ciudad Dorada", tiene una gran importancia cultural, histórica y arquitectónica. Está situada en una zona tranquila cerca de la punta de la península, en la confluencia de los ríos Mekong y Nam Khan, con una gran escalera que conduce desde el Mekong. (Tarifa de entrada 30.000 kips)
A continuación, iremos de templo en templo en el vecindario. En Wat Sene, donde hay una escuela para monjes novicios, puede volver a encontrarse con monjes novicios que conoció en la limosna de la mañana. El templo fue construido en 1718 por el rey Kitsarath con 100.000 piedras del río Mekong. Literalmente significa "Templo de los 100.000 tesoros"
[El museo cierra el último jueves de cada mes y no se puede visitar] Visitaremos el Palacio Real. El Palacio Real, que hoy es el museo nacional y fue construido por los colonialistas franceses entre 1904 y 1909, muestra una hermosa colección de artefactos que reflejan la riqueza de la cultura laosiana. (Tarifa de entrada 60.000 kips)
El recorrido de la mañana termina con un ascenso a la colina Phousi. Con una elevación de 150 m en el centro de la ciudad, podrá disfrutar de espectaculares vistas de 360 grados de la ciudad y sus numerosos templos, y del paisaje circundante hasta las montañas a lo lejos. (Tarifa de entrada 30.000 kips) Tiempo libre hasta la tarde para dirigirnos a la cascada.
Cascadas de Kuang Si
[Solo opciones de tour conjunto] El viaje continúa mientras seguimos el camino del agua hacia la granja de arroz Kuang Si Heritage. Presencia cómo el agua de las cataratas riega los arrozales en terrazas y prueba el jugo de caña de azúcar fresco y tradicionalmente prensado. Verás de primera mano la conexión vital entre el bosque, el agua y el modo de vida local. Concluya su inolvidable día con un magnífico crucero al atardecer, regresando a Luang Prabang alrededor de las 6:30 PM. Este suave viaje de regreso al Mekong captura perfectamente el espíritu tranquilo de su aventura.

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.
