Best time to visit laos.

Laos is a great place to visit at any time of the year as the weather doesn't vary much – it’s always hot and humid! The coolest time to visit is from November to January. This is also the driest time, and the main festival period, so it’s an interesting time to travel through Laos. The wet season runs from June to October. It rains frequently during this time, temperatures average over 85 degrees Fahrenheit and although some roads may be closed due to flooding, it is a great time for river travel. February to May is drier but hot, with temperatures climbing over 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

Culture and customs

The population of Laos is made up of more than 100 different ethnic groups, with each having their own distinct clothing, language, customs and way of life. The Lao Loum, who reside in the lowlands along the Mekong, make up the largest ethnic group. Smaller ethnic groups include the Hmong and Mien, both highland dwellers, and the Lao Thoeng, who prefer the lower mountains. Many tribes share cultural similarities with tribes from neighbouring countries, so it’s possible to see Chinese , Vietnamese , Khmer and Thai influences within the dress, food and arts of these people. 

Generally, Laotians are known for their laidback lifestyle and calm, steady approach to life. With an emphasis on the simple pleasures of family, food and religion, most people from Laos remain closely connected to their family and village for a lifetime. Most Laotians live in villages, rather than the city, where the sense of community is strong and people are connected to their neighbours and friends. Visiting wats (temples) to make offerings and give alms to monks is a common part of daily life for most, with much respect and reverence reserved for monks.

Buddhist holidays and traditional festivals linked to harvest time and holy periods are commonly celebrated throughout the villages of Laos and are timed according to lunar cycles. With different dates each year, it can be hard to predict the exact timing of these local celebrations, but visiting one can provide great insight into the fascinating culture of Laos.

Eating and drinking

Intrepid believes that one of the best ways of experiencing a country is by eating! Whether you're sampling street food, savoring a cheap eat or indulging in a banquet, there are endless options to choose from wherever you are in the world.

Laotian cuisine draws on culinary traditions from its neighbors, so visitors will be able to taste the flavors of China, Thailand and Vietnam in the food of Laos.

Things to try in Laos

This spicy meat salad is considered the national dish of Lao. The delicious combination of minced beef, chicken or pork seasoned with chili, lime and mint, served with vegetables and sticky rice is a firm favorite with locals and travelers.

2. Khao Poon

This popular soup of meat, rice noodles, lime leaves, chili, garlic and fish sauce has a few variations. The version made with coconut milk makes the dish similar to a laksa, while the version without coconut milk is a lighter option.

3. Fresh fruit

The markets of Laos have a cornucopia of delicious fruits on offer, either fresh or whipped up in a juice. Pineapple, orange, watermelon, guava and banana are plentiful but why not try more exotic fruits like lychee, longan, rambutan or jackfruit?

The answer to Laos’ heat and humidity is a bottle of locally brewed Beerlao, best served cold at the end of a long day of exploring.

Geography and environment

Landlocked Laos is located in South-East Asia, bordered by China, Thailand , Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar . The topography of Laos is very mountainous, with much of the land being covered in forest and unsuitable for farming. Due to the mountainous terrain, Laos lacks a developed road network, with most locals living in small villages in the highlands, lowlands and along the Mekong River. Visiting Laos is like going back in time to when highways, traffic jams, mass transit systems and skyscrapers didn't exist. Visitors will be awed by the lush landscapes and stunning scenery, which is unlike anywhere else on earth.

History and government

Early history.

It's thought that Laos has been inhabited by people for thousands of years, although written evidence reveals that societies existed in the 9th century. Early society was based on agriculture and prior to the advent of Buddhism in the 16th century, people largely subscribed to animist beliefs and Shiva-worship, with archaeological evidence of this remaining today.

Like its neighboring countries, Laos was ruled by a series of kingdoms and was subject to invasion from surrounding forces from nearby domains. Europeans first arrived in the area in the 1600s, with the Dutch being the first to arrive. Despite this, the French have had the most European influence in the region. After enduring years of invasion and control from neighboring countries, Laos also had French rule to contend with in the late 1800s, when it became a French colony.

Recent history

Laos was controlled by Japanese forces during World War II, was declared an independent state in 1950 and gained full independence as a constitutional monarchy in 1954. The 1960s proved to be a devastating time for the people of Laos, with their nation gaining the dubious honor of being the most bombed country in the world. The United States bombed Laos extensively in an attempt to eradicate North Vietnamese sanctuaries, and sadly contemporary Laos is still dealing with huge amounts of unexploded ordnance (UXO) that is littered throughout the countryside.

A coalition government was set up in 1962, but in 1975 Laos became a Communist state when the king gave up his throne in favor of a president and prime minister being instated. During the late 1970s, many people of Laos fled to neighboring countries as refugees, as trade embargoes from foreign nations led to widespread poverty and disadvantage. By the 1990s, Laos had become a full member of ASEAN and foreign nations had lifted their trade embargoes, which allowed free enterprise to grow.

Top 10 outdoor experiences in Laos

1. waterfall wander.

Walking around peaceful Kuang Si Falls is a must-do for anyone traveling through the Luang Prabang area. Gentle cascades of water flow into turquoise pools creating a heavenly atmosphere that draws in both tourists and locals keen on some respite from the heat.

2. Play petanque

The French game of petanque is a lot like bowls and quite popular with the people of Laos. If you’re lucky enough to come across a group of kids playing this game in the streets, try to join in – it’s fun and simple to play, and free.

3. Beautiful biking

Hiring a bike and cycling past quiet villages, small farms and rice paddies is a great way to spend an afternoon in Laos, as you can take in stunning scenery, meet locals and get fit all at once.

4. Have a kick

Get amongst the action by watching and playing a bit of Sepak Takwar with locals in the parking lots, streets and parks of Laos. This game (which could be described as a hybrid between football and volleyball) is commonly played throughout South-East Asia, and the locals of Laos are no exception.

5. Power to the paddle

Paddling a kayak down the Nam Song River is an interesting and energetic way to get active and see the sights of Vang Vieng.

6. Get back to nature in Nam Ha

Home to a wide range of rare plant and animal species, this protected area is a hidden gem for nature enthusiasts, bird watchers and animal lovers. The challenging hike through forested terrain provides many rewards in the form of animal spotting and breathtaking scenic vistas.

7. Refreshing river swim

Taking a dip in one of Laos’ many rivers is the perfect way to escape the heat on a hot summer’s day.

8. Spiritual stroll

Taking a leisurely walk around Vientiane’s quirky Buddha Park (also known as Xieng Khuan) is akin to taking an active history, religion and art lesson. Full of Hindu and Buddhist sculptures that depict myths, legends and stories – the giant reclining Buddha is a highlight for most. Surrounding trees, gardens and flowers add to the serenity.

9. Cruise along an icon

Taking a riverboat journey down the Mekong is an iconic journey to savor. Sit on deck, catch the breeze and take photos of the surrounding landscapes as villages, people and mountains glide by.

10. Tough trek

Test your fitness against some of Laos’ mountains on a challenging trek. With so much mountainous terrain, there are many different options and places to hike all around Laos – bring your best hiking boots and a sense of adventure.

Apart from being a great place to pick up handmade wares, buy fresh produce and mingle with locals, the many markets of Laos are one of the most interesting places to take photos also.

It's a good idea to check with your local customs officials to ensure that you are able to bring certain items back into your home country. Australia and New Zealand generally have strict quarantine laws.

Things to buy in Laos

1. Textiles

Laotian weavers are responsible for crafting an impressive range of top-quality fabric wonders. Silk and cotton are the most common and with everything from handmade bags, scarves, cushion covers, placemats and linen on offer, it won’t be hard to go over your luggage limit here.

2. Saa paper

Saa paper (also known as Mulberry paper) is made from the leftover bi-products of the silk industry. You’ll be able to find Saa paper notebooks and stationery, cards and even gorgeous hanging stars in some of Laos’ markets and boutiques.

3. Hmong handicrafts

The Hmong people are famous for creating colorful handicrafts, which can be found in most markets around Laos. Hand-embroidered bedspreads, vibrant clothing and cotton dolls make meaningful global gifts for friends back home.

Festivals and events

Bun pi mai (lao new year).

One day just isn’t enough for Laotians to celebrate New Year - they need a whole three days! The festive period is characterized by water fights, street parties, feasts, laughing and smiles, as the past year’s troubles are washed away to welcome a new year of luck and prosperity.

Vientiane Boat Racing Festival

Entrants from all over Laos travel to Vientiane to compete in this big boat racing festival held at the end of Buddhist Lent. Food stalls and sideshows line the streets to entertain the thousands of people who gather on the river to watch the races.

You can get your visa in advance, but a visa can easily be obtained on arrival at most airports from around 35-50 USD (dependant on nationality). Please check with the consulate in your country for more details before you travel. If you are planning to get your visa at the airport we recommend bringing two passport-size photos.

Tipping isn't mandatory or customary in Laos, but a tip of spare change or another small amount would be appreciated by restaurants, drivers and other service workers, especially if the service has been particularly good.

Major credit cards are generally accepted by large shops, hotels and restaurants in the city and tourist areas in the cities. However, they may not be accepted by smaller vendors such as small family restaurants, market stalls or in remote towns and rural areas. Make sure you carry enough cash for purchases, since credit cards aren't always an option everywhere in Laos.

charly renaudin trip to laos orla tour

Charly RENAUDIN

I had the chance to grow up in the world of tourism in Asia. At the age of 15, in 1993, my parents opened their own agency in Thailand, and then in Laos.

It was in the year 2000, at the age of 22, that I started working for the family agency in Laos as a jungle circuit tracker to meet the local tribes, and then as a guide for large groups. At the time, these newly discovered circuits were intended for French travel catalogues.

Following their retirement, it was in 2012, and with my colleague and longtime friend Phasouk, that we started to create our travel agency.

From now on, as a team, we combine all this experience to serve you and our tour operator partners around the world to create unique and tailor-made tours.

ORLA TOURS OFFICE

Phasouk VANSAVATH

I started my career in tourism in 1999 after graduating from the French department of the National University of Laos in Vientiane.

First a French-speaking guide, then responsible for the team of guides, my role was to guarantee the fulfillment of your expectations and empower the guides so that exchanges with ethnic groups are beneficial for everyone.

Regularly scouting in the field since the very beginning of my career, I am continuously surveying with the team and checking that the proposed circuits are really as good as we say they are.

My 21 years of experience have brought me a knowledge of this country’s best kept secrets which today allows me to create innovative and special tours with my team, incomparable to mass tourism.​

Every trip instantly supports our association

Our association Enfants du Laos aims to develop access to education in the villages of mountain ethnic groups to enable these children to have the same opportunities as children in the city to find a job and obtain a better future on their own.

These villages lack resources, which is why we have built a computer school from scratch and are setting up new education systems in cooperation with the local authorities.

300 children from the Hmong and Khamu village of Ban ViengHin are currently being provided with computer and foreign language lessons by Enfants du Laos.

Our long-term goals are to provide sustainable support and autonomy to families to contribute to the education of their children.

How to choose your ideal Laos Tour

If you are a bit overwhelmed amongst many best Laos Tours, make sure to check out our six basic steps to find out which tour suit you the best:

Step 1: Deciding the length of your Laos Tour

Since each Laos Tour has a different duration, you would need to decide how many days are you going to spend exploring Laos. Are you going on a short trip of 3 days? A week? A couple of weeks? Or a month? Trying to figure out your total number of days and start from there. To give you an idea, the classic Laos highlight tours usually roughly last from 08 to 14 days.

Step 2: Choose your Laos Tour Style

The next step after deciding the duration of your dream tour is choosing which Laos tour suits your taste.

Take a peek at our Laos Destinations and you will definitely have a ‘back-in-time’ feel to the authentic local ambience in serene Luang Prabang or in little gem Si Phan Don Islands which is famous for its ‘Four Thousand Islands’.

Spending time to read through the highlights and tour summaries to find out which activities attract you most.

FAQs about Laos Tours

Where should i visit in laos on my 1st-time tour routes.

A classic Laos tour is recommended for travellers in their first time here. The tours include the most popular Laos attractions for a long time such as Luang Prabang, Vang Vieng, and Vientiane. Laos tourism first developed in these places so they are often mentioned as parts of a standard itinerary. Nowadays, several places in remote Northern and destinations to the South are emerging attractions where could offer you a great slice of Laos with some kinds of cool stuff.

How long do I need to explore Laos?

For a basic route of Laos discovery, a stay within a week could be reasonable. But it’s better to have a stay at least 10 days in Laos so that you can leisurely discover the sleepy beauty of this landlocked country while traversing prominent places from the North to the South or vice versa.

What is the best time to visit Laos?

The recommended time to visit Laos is during the cool season which lasts from late October to early April next year when the weather is temperate and pretty clear. This is also the peak travel season in Laos when almost prominent places will be busy. If you prefer a quieter atmosphere, the rainy season during the summertime is not a bad idea as the sceneries turn lush green everywhere and waterfalls start to expand their flowings. Just be aware of rainfalls but they might last not too long.

Which destinations should I visit in Laos?

Laos is famous for less-visited destinations, authentic local life, and untouched nature. Popular attractions that are preferred by many tourists are Vientiane, Luang Prabang with cultural heritages, Xiang Khuang with mysterious Plain of Jars, Vang Vieng, Nong Khiaw, Huay Xai, Champasak with jaw-dropping trekking routes and exciting nature adventures, etc.

Is tipping mandatory in Laos?

Tipping is not customary in Laos. However, great service is probably deserved to be encouraged. Depending on your personal satisfaction, you can tip someone who did a great job and offered you excellent service when in Laos.

Is food in Laos safe and clean?

Laos food is known to be safe and clean. However, if you’re cautious of your digestive system, make sure that you eat well-cooked dishes or peeled fruits. Food in night markets is not really a smart option for your meals if you’re sensitive to street food. Also, tap water is not recommended to drink directly in Laos.

Do I need an address in the Lao language for airport taxi drivers?

Not really. You can capture the photos of your hotel and its address beforehand for an easier process. For more assurance, you can contact your hotel and book pick up service from them in advance. Or else, you can ask assistance from staff in counters at the exit door of the airport. You just need to tell them where you want to go in English then they will give the taxi driver a piece of paper with all the necessary info.

Best Laos SIM card to buy

Laos has 4 main GSM network operators: Unitel, Laotel, TPlus (formerly Beeline), and ETL. The most common is Unitel that is claimed to be “the best operator in Laos”. Unitel’s network covers almost the regions in the country (around 97%) while others could have limited networks in some regions. You’d better check their coverages on location first before buying a SIM card in Laos.

What is Laos preferred currency?

Laos official currency is the Lao kip. You’d better exchange an amount of kip to purchase smoothly in Laos. US Dollar is also accepted in bigger cities, particularly in restaurants. Basically, you’d better use Dollar when buying expensive items that cost a large amount of kip. In areas near the Thai border, Baht can be used directly. Credit cards are usually accepted in top-range hotels or big shops only and you may charge a fee on top of the price. In almost local restaurants, bars, towns, villages or rural regions, it’s better to use local money.

Which are the best airlines to book in Laos?

Laos Airlines is the national airline in this country while Laos Skyway operates flights and scheduled that are not served by Laos Airlines. Airlines in Laos was known to be unsafe in the past due to substandard facilities and service. Nowadays, they have made an effort to improve their reputation positively. One note, their international flights often codeshare with neighbours, usually Vietnam Airlines. Thus for flights to and from Laos, it’s better to use other brands. For domestic flights, Laos brands might be the most advisable option.

We are here to take the stress out of the holiday planning process. Let us help you plan an unforgettable journey of lifetime with High Quality & Affordable Price. Surely, you will feel satisfactory!

The best of Laos

The serenity of Laos.

From many outside viewers, this country is a total sleeper and under the radar as it lacks of tourism marketing to international markets. With more than 2 million tons of bombs over the country by Americans during the Vietnam War as part of a covert attempt to wrest power from communist forces, Laos is also the most heavily bombed nation in history today.

As a result, Laos becomes much undeveloped than its neighboring countries. The infrastructure in Laos has not been setup for mass tourism, taxis are not abundant and road conditions are still challenging to visitors which take long journey from place to place.

If Vietnam is famous for Halong Bay; Cambodia is for the Angkor complex; Myanmar for Bagan’s plains, and Thailand for pristine beaches and islands, of course this is just one of key spots among many other attractions of these countries, so what is the best of Laos to visit?

Yes, the advantage of Laos is that it is far less touristy which gives Laos unique charm and authentic . For those who love laid back atmosphere without too much crowds and a bit adventure, this is place for you.

The pace of life is slow so it is good place to relax . The Lao people are simple, friendly and just living their life. Laos culture is diversified with many ethnic minorities and amazingly representing Buddhism which retains its oldest tradition .

In addition, Laos really has many other things to offer, just that they don’t get proportional marketing. North Laos like Luang Namtha, Phongsaly ,…are perfect places for trekking, especially to remote ethnic villages and experience homestay. Visiting Nong Khiaw and Muang Ngoi for stunning scenery.

Luang Prabang is a beautiful and richly filled with sacred temples. Experience alms giving ceremony in the early morning is great, when Buddhist monks and novices walking in the road to collect food from locals.

Royal Palace Museum in Luang Prabang.

The capital Vientiane provides a diverse foodie paradise. Vang Vieng is a good place for adventure lovers with many outdoor activities such as tubing, kayaking or cave visits. Plain of Jars is place for nature beauty and history.

Heading south offers gorgeous natural vistas to take in. Visiting the waterfalls around the coffee-rich Boloven Plateau ; or the UNESCO world heritage site of Wat Phou or stunning flows of the Mekong around 4000 islands (Si Phan Don) .

There are also many National Protected Areas (Nam Ha NPA is one of best known) where gives many opportunities for trekking in the jungles or see the rare wildlife there.

Of course, tasty Laos food cannot be missed in the trip as well.

One more reason to pay a visit Laos is simple visa process that allows visitors easily get into Laos without wasting too much time. Our next content will give you more details about visa to Laos.

best time to visit Laos

The best time of your travel can be from November to February when the weather is the most pleasant.

Laos has a typical tropical monsoon climate including dry season from November to April and wet season from May to October with the variations in temperature. Among these seasons, the hottest period comes to March and April (end months of dry season leading to wet season) and early start of wet season in May, June.

During wet season (or rainy season), an average rainfall can reach 1,300 to 2,300 mm (50 to 90 in) with the heaviest rainfall in August & September, especially on the Bolaven Plateau, Champasak Province in the South. The average temperature is generally around 27 °C (80 °F).

In dry season, the average temperatures in the cool months (December – February) vary between 16 and 21 °C (60 and 70 °F) with the coolest month coming to January. In March and April, the temperature increases higher over 32 °C (90 °F) with April as the hottest month of year when Lao New Year and water festival occurs.

In fact, you can actually visit Laos all-year-round. However, the best time of your travel can be from November to February when the weather is the most pleasant . In the far north of Laos, the weather even gets pretty cold in the evenings. Of course, this is also high/peak season, so prepare for more crowds with higher expenses, especially during Christmas/New Year Eve or Lao New Year. The early booking is highly recommended to guarantee services during this time.

While planning a holiday to Laos, it is not easy to decide the best tour package as right choice of travelers. As the main hubs of Laos, your trip can normally start either from Luang Prabang or Vientiane with various trip length (less, within or more than a week) as well as travel styles (culture and history, adventure, luxury), absolutely depending on your interest, time & budget.

Laos Dirty Motorcycle Tour to Viengthong, Viengxay, Phonsavanh, Vang Vieng, Plain of Jars, Xaisomboune

7 day Nothern Laos Motorcycle tour. Mr Dong was excellent to deal with in setting this up for us. Four of us old guys from NZ (late 60's early 70's with mostly road bike and some gravel experience) did the 7 day tour of Northern Laos starting in Luang Prabang. The CFR250 arrived in morning and were well maintained. These bikes proved excellent for this tour as there was dirt, gravel as well as pavement with potholes to negotiate. Yee our guide was excellent. He had a good grasp of English as well as a sense of humour and fitted in well with our group. He was ever willing to provide information on Laos culture and went out of his way to visit schools where we gave out soccer balls, school stationery etc and stop off at villages where we met the locals. He was a proficient dirt rider and always checked our progress to ensure our safety. I would recommend to do this tour in their Winter from December when a bit drier as it would be technically very challenging in wet. We had our luggage transported daily to our accommodation by truck. The country up North is very rugged with endless mountain passes and switchbacks providing excellent riding. The 250c bikes were good at carving through the traffic (lots of trucks). As its up high in altitude the mornings can be cold but the days were mostly between 20-25C so very pleasant in a mesh jacket. Recommend mx boots and gear for this type of riding (we provided our own).For this particular trip I would recommend extending it 1 additional day to stay in Vang Vieng to do the tubing. This was an excellent trip and all of us felt one of the best we have ever had. Thanks Mr Dong!

Laos in Focus

Anyone who has a love of travel and a sense of adventure will adore Laos.   Laos still retains an air of romantic mystique, and most people immediately point to the enchanting town of Luang Prabang, which conjures up images of ornate temples, old colonial buildings and saffron robed monks.  

Look beyond this, and you will find a captivating and beautiful country filled with jaw dropping paddy fields and mountain scenery, cascading waterfalls and remote ethnic minority villages, all bonded together by the mighty Mekong River, the lifeblood of the country.

Traditional customs are still an important part of everyday Lao life, and it's refreshing to visit a country to experience this, whether the sight of monks collecting alms in the morning, or the hustle and bustle of locals shopping at the local market, or ordering their dinner from a roadside food stall.

The one lasting impression for most visitors is of the Lao people and their overwhelming friendliness. Come to Laos and you will be made to feel welcome by everyone.  Don't be surprised if you find yourself being invited into peoples homes, for meals, even for weddings, Lao people love to share and treat visitors to their country as honoured guests.

Having spoken to many happy clients over the years, we at Nakarath lose track of the number of times travellers tell us how amazing their time in Laos was, how they wished they could have stayed longer, and how, most definitely, one day, they will return.
