Itinerario
[5:30 solo su richiesta] Nel Buddismo, l'elemosina o l'elemosina è il rispetto dato da un buddista laico a un monaco buddista, una monaca, una persona spiritualmente sviluppata o un altro essere senziente. Non è la carità come presumono gli interpreti occidentali. È importante sapere che la cerimonia è anche una pratica spirituale per accumulare buon karma per coloro che fanno l'elemosina. È più vicino a una connessione simbolica con il regno spirituale e a mostrare umiltà e rispetto in presenza della società secolare. L'atto dell'elemosina collega l'essere umano al monaco e a ciò che rappresenta. L'elemosina mattutina è una tradizione buddista vivente per la gente di Luang Prabang che, per la sua bellezza, è diventata un'importante attrazione turistica. Tuttavia, quando i turisti non sono consapevoli delle sue usanze, i loro comportamenti inappropriati possono essere dannosi.
[Solo tour delle 17:30] I Dopo l'elemosina, visitiamo un mercato mattutino locale. Il mercato mattutino di Luang Prabang, lungo un paio di strade tranquille vicino al Palazzo Reale, inizia presto e termina a metà mattinata. Si trova lungo un paio di strade laterali accanto a uno dei tanti Wats della città. Una macelleria e alcune delle bancarelle più turistiche hanno dei veri e propri tavoli per la loro merce. Ma la maggior parte dei venditori, che vendono qualsiasi cosa, dal riso, alle verdure fresche, al pesce al vapore, alle rane e qualsiasi altra cosa che potrebbe essere il pescato del giorno, si sistemano semplicemente a terra. Ritorniamo al vostro alloggio e avremo tempo libero per la colazione fino alle 8:30.
La seconda parte di questo tour inizia al Riverview Park sulla punta della penisola. Avrai una breve introduzione a Luang Prabang, in piedi dove il fiume Nam Khan incontra il fiume Mekong. Da lì, cammina fino al famoso tempio Wat Xieng Thong.
Wat Xiengthong era considerato la porta cerimoniale della città e fu per secoli il punto di arrivo e di partenza dei dignitari stranieri. Saliremo le scale fino al cancello principale ed entreremo nel tempio come antichi dignitari. Wat Xieng Thong, un tempo conosciuto come "Il Tempio della Città d'Oro", riveste una grande importanza culturale, storica e architettonica. È situato in posizione tranquilla vicino alla punta della penisola, alla confluenza dei fiumi Mekong e Nam Khan, con una grande scalinata che sale dal Mekong. (Ingresso 30.000 kip)
Successivamente, andremo a visitare i templi nel quartiere. A Wat Sene, dove c'è una scuola per monaci novizi, potresti incontrare di nuovo i monaci novizi che hai incontrato durante l'elemosina mattutina. Il tempio fu costruito nel 1718 dal re Kitsarath con 100.000 pietre del fiume Mekong. Significa letteralmente "Tempio dei 100.000 tesori"
[Il museo è chiuso l'ultimo giovedì di ogni mese e non è visitabile] Visiteremo il Palazzo Reale. Il Palazzo Reale, che oggi è il museo nazionale e costruito dai colonialisti francesi tra il 1904 e il 2009, espone una bella collezione di manufatti che riflettono la ricchezza della cultura laotiana. (Ingresso 60.000 kip)
Il tour mattutino termina con una salita sulla collina Phousi. Salendo a 150 metri nel centro della città, si gode una vista spettacolare a 360 gradi sulla città e sui suoi numerosi templi, e sul paesaggio circostante fino alle montagne in lontananza. (Ingresso 30.000 kip) Tempo libero fino al pomeriggio per dirigersi alla cascata
Cascate di Kuang Si
[Solo opzioni di tour congiunto] Il viaggio continua mentre seguiamo il percorso dell'acqua fino alla fattoria di riso Kuang Si Heritage. Assisti a come l'acqua delle cascate irriga le risaie terrazzate e assaggia il succo di canna da zucchero fresco e tradizionalmente pressato. Vedrai in prima persona la connessione vitale tra la foresta, l'acqua e lo stile di vita locale. Concludi la tua giornata indimenticabile con una magnifica crociera al tramonto, con ritorno a Luang Prabang intorno alle 18:30. Questo dolce viaggio di ritorno sul Mekong cattura perfettamente lo spirito tranquillo della tua avventura.

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.
