Located at a high altitude in the heart of the mountains, lies the picture-perfect town of Luang Prabang. Read on to uncover the sights and sounds of this settlement and what to expect when you visit it.
Where is it?
The location of this town makes it a popular tourist destination for those travelling between Thailand and Laos. Nestled at the confluence of two major rivers in the region – the Mekong and the Nam Khan rivers, this town is buzzing with life and is easy to reach.
Where to Stay?
When travelling to new and exciting places many opt to stay with a recognised hotel chain such as Avani Hotels & Resorts. As such, Luang Prabang hotels vary from resorts and hotels to hotels and guesthouses, giving those who visit ample choice of accommodation to pick from.
When to Go?
The most pleasant time to visit is when the town is not being doused in sheets of rain or rather, being scorched by the sun. As such, the perfect time to visit it is during the driest and coolest months of the year which are between November and May.
What to do?
Apart from walking along the banks of the river, there are night markets, temples and culinary experiences just waiting to be had in Luang Prabang. While the town is relatively safe, make sure you hold on to your valuables as you explore the markets.
