What you can expect

Begin your adventure with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Luang Prabang Old Town. Head to Xiangman Village, where your guide will provide you with exploration equipment to explore a mysterious cave. Search for the holy water source used in important local festivals and experience the mystical power of Lao religion.

Next, visit some of the village's seven temples, each with its own unique history and charm. Learn about the stories behind these iconic temples, including those in caves, on mountaintops, and even temples that were once Chinese military camps, leaving behind valuable murals.

Then, trek into the mountains protected by the mountain gods, exploring the Buddha statues, ancient pagodas, and cave temples atop the mountain. Ring the bell for blessings at the summit, a completely new experience unlike any other temple in Luang Prabang.

Before concluding your tour, learn to make a flower pagoda with locals. Present the flower pagoda to the temple as a sincere and meaningful gift. Receive a special blessing ceremony from respected practitioners in a historically significant temple. Experience the charm and energy of traditional Lao religion through tying bracelets and offering blessings—a truly precious and unique Lao experience.

General Itinerary: The driver will pick up clients from their hotel and take them to the ferry terminal. From there, they will board a ferry to the village, where a hiking tour will begin. After the tour, the client will be returned to their hotel.

The specific itinerary is subject to the actual sequence of events on the day.
