Luang Prabang managed to steal my heart within a matter of hours, and it caught me completely off guard. Everyone I met in Thailand who asked me where I was headed next lit up at the mention of Luang Prabang and gave me a look as if to say, “you’ll understand soon enough.” Here I was walking along the Mekong River of a treasured UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the charm was just oozing from every street corner. My guide Nong grew up here and was eager to show me around. We visited the Royal Palace Museum, just a small fraction of the beautiful temples, and climbed the 328 steps of Mount Phousi for a stunning (and sweaty) 360 degree view of the city.

We stopped for lunch along the Mekong River and sampled a delicious, local menu. You gotta try the larb!

If I had had the extra time, Luang Prabang would have been the perfect stop for a few free days to wander and explore independently, take in the sites and relax by the river. I guess I'll have to just start planning my next trip!
Very well ececuted. Hily recomended. Great experiance

I've worked with Adventure Life before in planning trips and appreciate the quality of trips they put together. They use knowledgeable local guides, comfortable lodgings, and assist with transportation. I find trip planning stressful, so am happy to turn it over to them. They work within our parameters of time, budget, activity level, and types of activities to give us great experiences!

We went to the Patagonia on the Chile side and Perito Moreno in El Calafate, Argentina. Eric of San Diego handled our trip with expertise. The preparation went smoothly, despite some changes on our part with scheduling conflicts. He offered great advice which made us feel at ease with all decisions on the trip. It was truly a great experience.
