Ask the local guide about history, culture and stories of the place and he will have so much to share with you.
Go to Regions that a few travelers visit
You must have heard a lot about popular tourist destinations such as Vientiane and Luang Prabang. All visitors coming to Laos visit there. Well, these are popular places and you should visit them, but when you are done with them, try to hunt for a real treasure hidden in Laos. Laos is known for its ancient jungles and diverse tropical plants. If you want to experience this wild side of the country, you should start with Luang Namtha. You can also do hiking here. It is an attraction where you will not find any crowd as it is off the radar of the mainstream tourist attractions of Laos and you will have some good time with your loved ones. However, during hiking, you need to watch your steps.
Spend some days with a Laotian Host Family The main purpose of visiting a new country should be the culture exchange. A tour that can fill your life with new experiences, skills and memories is an ideal tour to remember. How about not just seeing the culture, but immersing yourself in it? If you are an adventurous traveller, you will surely want to explore some hidden gems, don’t you? Hire a local guide and ask him about those special hidden gems. The main thing is to ask him whether you can spend some days with him in his village to learn and live his culture. Most probably, the answer would be yes. There are many local tour guides who will invite you to their villages and spend some days with them. You can interact with locals and ask questions while the guide will be your translator.
Try to learn making local craft
Honestly, readymade souvenirs are boring! How about making one by yourself after learning it at the local Luang Prabang art workshop led by a local? Buying a handmade basket in the local market is one thing and learning and making one for yourself or for your loved one is different. It will be an enticing and adventurous experience for you.
Conclusion When you make a Laos tour package, don’t just include those popular choices, but make some room for local experiences and culture exchange. In this way, you will be one of the Laotians for at least a few days and it will be an unforgettable experience of your life.
