While destinations like Vietnam and Thailand are highly sought after, Laos has managed to slip under the radar in the past due to its landlocked geographical position. A laid back country, Laos is beginning to attract more attention for its wild beauty and relatively untouched landscapes. There is much to discover in terms of unspoilt nature here, including the mighty Mekong River, natural limestone karsts, rolling hills disappearing into clouds and vast jungles that have barely been explored. History and culture are also some of the key attractions of the country: delicate Buddhist temples offer instant serenity with their gilded roofs that reflect beams of sunlight in all directions.
