Luang Prabang Tour Packages

Visa and entry

Entry rules for Indian passport holders change, including visa-free, visa-on-arrival and e-visa schemes, so confirm the current rules on the official government or embassy website for Laos before booking flights. Most countries require a passport valid for at least six months beyond your return date. We check the current requirements when we prepare your quote; we cannot guarantee visa approval.

Health and safety

Buy travel insurance that covers medical treatment and evacuation; healthcare abroad can be expensive. Carry prescription medicines in their original packaging with a copy of the prescription. For current safety advice, check the travel advisories published by the Government of India and the embassy in Laos.

Currency and tipping

The currency is the Lao kip (LAK). Not traditional but appreciated in tourist areas.

Best time to visit

November to March. Cool, dry season.

Getting around

The Laos–China Railway connects Vientiane, Vang Vieng and Luang Prabang in a few hours. Fly into Luang Prabang or Vientiane via Bangkok.

Local etiquette

• Dress modestly at temples, churches and mosques, and remove footwear where asked.
• Ask before photographing people, and follow photography rules at religious sites and museums.
• Watch the morning alms-giving in Luang Prabang quietly and from a respectful distance.

What to pack

Pack modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees for religious sites and comfortable walking shoes.

Phone and internet

Indian mobile operators sell international roaming packs, or you can buy a local SIM or eSIM on arrival with your passport. Check that your phone is unlocked and supports eSIM before you travel.

Budget

We don't publish fixed prices because the season, hotel category, flights and group size change the cost. Your written quote lists exactly what is included, so you can compare like for like.
