Laos is a very special country hidden within the limestone karsts of South East Asia. It’s one of the least visited locations for travellers exploring the region but it absolutely shouldn’t be missed!

It’s the only landlocked country in South East Asia, however, it isn’t short of beautiful waterscapes including the Mekong River and the out-of-this-world Kuang Si Falls.

Laos is one of the least developed nations in South East Asia but the towns and cities in between will have you floored. Luang Prabang is a gorgeous town with buildings displaying French colonial architecture. Besides, there’s loads to do in this beautiful place!
