What you can expect

  • Day: 1
    Start your trip from Phonsavan and visit the Plain of Jars, a land of mystery with giant stone jars. The site features over 2,000 large stone jars, some reaching up to 3 metres in height and weighing several tonnes. Their purpose remains a mystery, although theories suggest they were used for funerary practices or possibly as storage containers.

    Next, visit Ban Naphia, a well-known spoon-making village from scrap metal. Each day, the village produces 1,000 spoons, which are traded at the Phonsavan market.

    Continue to Long Cheng, which was once a major military base during the Vietnam War. It's a fascinating place to visit and learn about this period of history. There are a number of abandoned buildings and structures to explore. Spend the night at Long Cheng Guesthouse.

    Day: 2
    After breakfast in Long Cheng continue to Xaisomboun and visit Phoukoua Loun. Stop for lunch in the Anouvong district, then drive to Vientiane and be dropped off at your hotel.
