Laos is a South Asian country which is landlocked. It is bordered by Burma’s and People Republic of China to the northwest, Vietnam to the East, Cambodia to the South and Thailand to the west. The population of Laos is around 6.5 million in 2012. After years of war and isolation, the old traditional environment and the existing culture, Laos is slowly becoming the preferred destination for travelers all over Asia. Village life is very simple and even in capital; Vientiane the life is very slow and steady. The historic royal city of Luang Prabang where watching hundreds of saffron robed monks walk silently across the centuries old monasteries is an amazing experience.

Apart from the cities there are so many sites in the Laos which are lovely to watch for e.g. the plain of jars in Xieng khuang province, the forested mountains of Northern Laos, the gothic limestone karsts around the backpacker- haven Vang Vieng and in the deep South, past the market town Pakse, is Si Phan Don where the mighty Mekong spreads out and all the hammocks are taken.

The Lao is for those who are looking for nature and adventure. All the sports like kayaking, rock climbing and biking are available but the most popular among them is the community based trekking, it consist of the natural attraction with real experience of Laos and a village homestay.

The Laos is slowly becoming the most popular attraction for the visitors.
