Laos Mekong River

 

Meet the lifeblood of Laos, the legendary Mekong, and discover its top landings. You can cruise the river from port to port, or explore the treasures along its shores.   

Immerse yourself in Mekong River life in a village on the shore. Take a local boat to secret coves, book a multi-day cruise, cycle along its banks, or just relax onshore. Top that off with a room offering a riverside balcony view or a campsite on the banks.
