Mekong River Holidays


asia
Mekong River holidays promise a tranquil journey through some of Laos’ most spectacular scenery, with lush green countryside, jungle clad mountains and riverside villages along the way.

One of the world’s great rivers, the mighty Mekong snakes from Lao’s northern border with Thailand, through Luang Prabang and Vientiane, before once again following the country’s west border to the far south. This waterway is integral to the lives of many Laotians and a river cruise is a great way to see a different side of life in Laos.

Whether you choose a two day journey, travelling along the river from Thailand and stopping in Pakbeng, a sunset cruise or simply enjoy one of the many riverside café terraces, the Mekong is likely to play a part of any trip to Laos.

Trailfinders offers a range of Mekong River holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore Laos on a private tour with an expert guide, take a sociable small group tour, or are looking for advice on a multi-centre holiday – they are the perfect people to ask.
