Vat Phou
- Mekong, Southern Lao Treasures
(Français)
Not far from the shores of the Mekong River in Southern
Laos lie two of the regions most remarkable treasures,
the mythical World Heritage site of Vat Phou and the Oun Moung Temple.
The awe-inspiring pre-Angkorian Vat Phou dates back over a thousand
years and is widely regarded as one of the most outstanding examples
of Khemer architecture, while the Oun Moung exudes an atmosphere
of a city lost in the jungle for centuries.
Embracing the beauty and power of the Mekong and the exotic mystique
of ancient Khemer ruins, this 3-day Asian Oasis Mythical
Journey combines the highlights of the region for an unforgettable
experience.
A boutique river-borne hotel is the setting for this journey through
the timeless landscapes of Southern Laos. Here, the serenity of
this vast and smooth expanse of water is accentuated by the stunning
Si Phan Don the "4,000 Islands" and further
down, Southeast Asia's largest waterfalls at Pha Pheng.
The leisurely cruise along the fascinating Mekong is as relaxing as
it is historic and gives extraordinary insight into the ancient civilization
that once shared your path down this mighty waterway.
