Laos - Luang Prabang

The Land of a Million Elephants! We visited Laos in 2015, after our trip to Myanmar. After a couple of days in Luang Prabang*, we travelled by road to Nong Khiaw, visiting an Hmong village and the Pha Tok Cave en route. We then travelled back to Luang Prabang, partly by boat along the Nam Ou River, visiting the shrines in the Pak Ou Caves at the confluence with the mighty Mekong River. We only spent a few days in Laos, so we definitely need to go back and explore some more! (* = UNESCO World Heritage Site)
