Best time to visit
Good time to visit
Average time to visit

In general, the best time to visit Laos is from October through to April, although it can start to get very hot from March onwards. The rainy season is from May to September, with the wettest months being August and September, particularly in the south of the country. The north of the country tends to be drier, but the higher elevations can make it much cooler, especially in the winter months. Whilst still pleasant during the day it can drop to around 10 degrees Celsius at night, and so it is worth bring layers.

Day 6 - 7

  • Vientiane

    At a Glance

    Submerge yourself in the stunning French-colonial architecture you will find once you arrive in Vientiane, Laos’ capital city with its laidback atmosphere and delicious street food.  Take a private tour of some of the city’s cultural sites, including the Patuxay Monument, which is reminiscent of the Parisienne Arc de Triomphe, and That Luang, which has a gold-covered stupa and is one of the holiest sites in the country. Otherwise you may simply wish to take a relaxing stroll along the Mekong, soaking up the wonderful atmosphere.

  • Southern Laos

    At a Glance

    Time to head off the beaten track and experience the lesser known region of Pakse.  Southern Laos is relatively undeveloped in terms of mass tourism, and so this is a great opportunity to explore the impressive sites and scenery.  Take a guided tour to the extraordinary Bolaven Plateau, which is home to dozens of hilltribes, farms, tea and coffee plantations and mesmerising waterfalls.  We highly recommend you take a half a day tour to explore this expansive temple of Wat Phou, which pre-dates the temples of Angkor and is surrounded by serene countryside.
     
    Another special experience is to take a day to explore the 4,000 Islands region, known locally as Siphandon. Visit one of the islands, travelling around by bicycle or tuk tuk, passing through sleepy villages and farms. Stop off to admire the Lippi waterfalls and take a short boat trip to try and catch site of the elusive Irrawaddy dolphin.
