Group Solo Travel in Laos

Travel solo as part of a group tour to Laos

Why Travel Solo To Laos?

For all its spirituality and slow pace of life, Laos’ rugged beauty means it’s primed for adventure, too.

The South-East Asian country is renowned for its rural patchwork ofrice paddies, stilted houses, waterfalls and elephants, with the mighty Mekong River running the length of its western border

Yes, this is quintessential Asia – all the more appealing for its reliable purse-pleasing prices and proximity to neighboring Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand, making it easy to criss-cross the region and tick off a few countries in one trip

In Laos itself, you can sail your way along the Mekong, watching the landscapes unfold around you; explore the Tam Ting caves and absorb the Buddhist temples of Luang Prabang; and spot monks in vibrant saffron robes or get zen in a yoga class, before feasting on fragrant Laotian cuisine.

You may travel to Laos solo, but by the time you’ve finished your slow-paced group adventure, the frenetic side to South-East Asia will feel like a distant dream.
