Highlights of Nam Ngum - 4 Days 3 Nights Itinerary

When you arrive in Vientiane, our representative will meet you at the airport, and help you transfer to your hotel to check-in. After lunch, you will be treated to a sightseeing tour of the most breathtaking religious museums in the area of WatSisaket. Among them is a temple that survived the Siamese war of 1828, complete with a cloister that is home to more than 8000 statues of Buddha. Also shown is the former home and temple of the Emerald Buddha statue called the PraKeo, and current home to a collection of Buddha statues and artifacts from all around Vientiane called the Wat Ho Prakeo. You will be given a chance to see the most famous and important monument in the country, That Luang Stupa. It is a stunning and beautiful monument in honor of the fight for freedom from the French. This stupa also is said to contain a piece of the Buddha's chest bone- a unique and priceless piece of history preserved for the world to treasure. The tour will continue with the Patouxay, an arch recently constructed to commemorate those who died during the past wars and is the landmark of Vientiane. The day will start to wind down with a visit to the National Museum to bask in the magnificent culture of the area, and finish with dinner at a local restaurant to allow you a chance to have a true taste of the culture available.
