Laos has so much to offer it can’t be ‘done’ in a fortnight, so focus on one region or cherry-pick from our list of its top sights, treks, homestays, tours and even the Most Secret Place on Earth Landlocked, communist, studded with limestone spires and gilded temples, riddled with caves and home to rare wildlife, Laos has a unique charm for adventurous travellers. They relish its sleepy atmosphere, charming people and the sharp contrast with Thailand or Vietnam. If you don’t have the backpacker’s luxury of boundless time and can only spend a couple of weeks in Laos, it’s an idea to focus on one region or cherry-pick sites connected by flights using Lao Airlines. With long distances and less-than-great roads (this is one of the least-developed countries in south-east Asia), river and air transport make sense. Check out also the hop-on, hop-off Stray Travel passes (one week from $389). Laos is popular with bicyclists, kayakers and bikers, too. For company, read Chri...

The Southeast Asian country of Laos is a hidden gem among its more popular neighbors of China,  Thailand ,  Cambodia , and  Vietnam . Its rich cultural diversity comes from the 49 ethnic groups that influence the food, arts, customs, and festivals in the country. 1.  Kuang Si Waterfalls The vibrant blue waters that flow down the falls travel down through a series of pools before rejoining the flow of the jungle river. After ages of flowing over the rocks, the falls have etched deep lines into the stone creating a beautiful travertine pattern. The pools are smaller near the top of the falls, but tend to widen out nearer to the bottom eventually becoming big enough to swim in should the tropical heat inspire someone to jump in as it often does. The locals (who charge a small fee to visitors to the falls) have built out a wooden platform that visitors can take in the rushing waters from, or even dive off of in some places. 2.  Vientiane Vientiane...

While Laotion food is generally overlooked compared to its neighboring culinary giants, Thailand and Vietnam, a lot of common thai dishes actually originate from Laos. Dishes like sticky rice, laab, and papaya salad, are all identified as Thai dishes but have actually originated in Laos. As parts of Northern Thailand was once a part of Laos, the food here is very similar but of course made with different variations. Like in most parts of Asia, food plays a large part of the culture. I promise you there is no better way to get to know the local culture than by sipping on a hot pipping bowl of noodle soup as you take in the sights and sounds around you. While the food is highly underrated, here are a few dishes that you NEED to try during your travel to Laos .
