Resplan
[5:30 endast alternativ] Inom buddhismen är allmosor eller allmosor den respekt som en lekmannabuddhist ger till en buddhistisk munk, nunna, andligt utvecklad person eller annan kännande varelse. Det är inte välgörenhet som förmodas av västerländska tolkar. Det är viktigt att veta att ceremonin också är en andlig praxis för att samla bra karma för dem som ger allmosan. Det är närmare en symbolisk koppling till det andliga riket och att visa ödmjukhet och respekt i det sekulära samhällets närvaro. Allmosans handling kopplar människan till munken och vad han representerar. Att ge allmosor på morgonen är en levande buddhistisk tradition för människorna i Luang Prabang som på grund av sin skönhet har blivit en stor turistattraktion. Men när turister är omedvetna om dess seder kan deras olämpliga beteenden vara störande.
[5:30 endast alternativturné] I Efter att ha gett allmosor besöker vi en lokal morgonmarknad. Luang Prabangs morgonmarknad som kantar ett par lugna gator nära det kungliga palatset, börjar tidigt och är över mitt på morgonen. Den ligger längs ett par sidogator bredvid en av stadens många Wats. En slaktare och några av de mer turistiga stånden har riktiga bord för sina varor. Men de flesta försäljare, som säljer allt från ris, till färska grönsaker, till ångad fisk, grodor och allt annat som kan vara dagens fångst, ställs bara upp på marken. Vi går tillbaka till ditt boende och har ledig tid för frukost fram till 8:30.
Den andra delen av denna turné börjar vid riverview park på halvöns spets. Du kommer att få en kort introduktion till Luang Prabang, där Nam Khan-floden möter Mekongfloden. Därifrån går du till det berömda Wat Xieng Thong-templet.
Wat Xiengthong ansågs vara den ceremoniella porten till staden och var ankomst- och utgångspunkten för utländska dignitärer i århundraden. Vi kommer att gå uppför trappan till huvudporten och gå in i templet som forntida dignitärer. Wat Xieng Thong, en gång känt som "Den gyllene stadens tempel", har stor kulturell, historisk och arkitektonisk betydelse. Det är lugnt beläget nära spetsen av halvön vid sammanflödet av floderna Mekong och Nam Khan, med en storslagen trappa som leder upp från Mekong. (Entréavgift 30 000 kip)
Därefter ska vi gå på tempelhoppning i grannskapet. I Wat Sene, där det finns en skola för nybörjarmunkar, kan du träffa nybörjarmunkar som du träffade på morgonallmosan. Templet byggdes 1718 av kung Kitsarath med 100 000 stenar från Mekongfloden. Det betyder bokstavligen "Tempel med 100 000 skatter"
[Museet är stängt den sista torsdagen i varje månad och kan inte besökas] Vi kommer att besöka Kungliga slottet. Det kungliga palatset, som idag är nationalmuseet och byggt av franska kolonialister mellan 1904-09, visar en vacker samling av artefakter som återspeglar den laotiska kulturens rikedom. (Entréavgift 60 000 kip)
Morgonturen avslutas med en klättring uppför Phousi Hill. När du reser dig 150 meter i centrum av staden kan du njuta av en spektakulär 360 graders utsikt över staden och dess många tempel, och över det omgivande landskapet till bergen i fjärran. (Entréavgift 30 000 kip) Fri tid fram till eftermiddagen för att bege sig till vattenfallet
Kuang Si vattenfall
[Endast gemensamma turalternativ] Resan fortsätter när vi följer vattnets väg till Kuang Si Heritage risfarm. Bevittna hur fallens vatten bevattnar de terrasserade hagarna och smakar färsk, traditionellt pressad sockerrörsjuice. Du kommer att se direkt den viktiga kopplingen mellan skogen, vattnet och det lokala sättet att leva. Avsluta din oförglömliga dag med en storslagen solnedgångskryssning, återvänd till Luang Prabang runt 18:30.Denna mjuka resa tillbaka på Mekong fångar perfekt den lugna andan i ditt äventyr.

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.
