    Luang Prabang has a beautiful colonial old town with picturesque Buddhist temples and inviting cafes. The French influence is unmistakable.

      Nestled between mighty mountains, on the banks of the mighty Mekong River, lies the ancient royal city of Luang Prabang in the far north of Laos. Surrounded by lush jungle, this remote town with a population of 76,000 was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995.

      The unique royal palace, the countless temples, and Buddhist monasteries transport every traveler back to the glorious realm of the "One Million Elephants," as the term "Lane Xang" translates to Laos. The chanting of golden-orange-robed monks wafts through the streets. The early morning mist of the Mekong River casts a very special spell over the former capital of the kingdom of Lane Xang every day. Luang Prabang is peppered with unique cultural and historical features.
