Laos is one of the world’s most enigmatic countries. Poor and isolated from the world for much of its history, Laos is starting to open up and attract a lot of tourism.

It is a deeply spiritual country and you can learn a lot about it by exploring its temples and cuisine. This itinerary is ideal if you’re looking for a shorter break in one of the less well known parts of Asia.

Despite the impact of colonialism and communism, much of Laos’ traditional culture survives intact.
