A beautifully preserved natural environment, Laos nurtures a traditional, unhurried way of life that entices people to stay in this unspoilt country. Located in the heart of old French Indochina, the colonial French mansions of romantic Luang Prabang mingles with 32 opulent Buddhist temples. With sleepy forested mountains in the North and limestone caves carved with images of Buddha in Pak Ou, Laos is pure Zen.
