Asia – Intriguing Travelers Since The Beginning Of Time
Depending on what you have in mind, when someone says “Asia”, people usually think about the world-famous destinations located in this vast continent. Surely China is one of the first associations, with its Great Wall and other architectural wonders that came to life during its remarkably long history. Other countries as well are included in the “tourist royalty” of the continent, such as India, Russia, Mongolia, Thailand, Vietnam and so on. However, one of the many interesting things about travelling is the fact that you never know what you may come across. For example, things like an ancient tomb that just so happens to be lying under your unsuspecting feet, a cute little restaurant tucked away behind the tall skyscrapers of an Asian metropolis, or even a breathtaking thousands-of-years-old Buddhist temple that very few before you have had the good fortune of visiting.
Taking Risks Can Be Very Rewarding
That is precisely why it often pays to visit the places that are uncharted in the travel waters of the world. Now, that wasn’t an invitation to go off into the Amazon rainforest and abandon all of your worldly belongings, but rather clever advice that, if followed, could result in a monopoly over experiences that very few human beings before you (might) have had. In other words – the smaller and not so popular places on the travel map of the world are the main source of some of the most incredible lifetime memories. That being said, we at TNK Travel would like to present mystical Laos – a place where even the most hardened non-believers change their mind about the existence of magic in this world.
A Win-Win Situation
There are truly many ways to enjoy this gem among the magical countries of Asia. For example, adventure tours in Laos often include a whole array of activities that often result in tourists wanting to start a new life in this ancient land. Since Laos is in Asia and, much like all Asian counties, has an incredibly long and turbulent history, tourism is certainly one of the branches of the economy that brings in quite a lot of money. Exploring the country can be done in a number of different ways, depending on what you prefer:
- Adventure motorcycle tours of Laos;
- Mekong river cruises (Laos to Vietnam);
- Laos river cruises;
- Southern Laos cruises etc.
Among the many different Laos tourism packages on offer, tourists from all over the world who are interested in discovering the mystical culture and history of the country firsthand particularly enjoy kayaking on the Nam Khan River, as well as trekking on the Trail of the mist in Laos.
The Choice Is All Yours
TNK Travel offers an incredible selection of tour packages across the country, with a particular accent on daily tours, day trips and fun activities such as cycling, kayaking and trekking, in addition to cruises along some of the most famous and beautiful rivers in the world. Additionally, Laos can be experienced on a whole other level through a number of different adventure tours that last anywhere from a day to a week.
A Quick Preview
Day trips in Laos will take you through some of the most breathtaking and incredibly shaped landscapes on the globe, as the surface of the regions of Laos is adorned by contrasting rock formations, combined with charming green surfaces that complement the ever present tropical climate. For example, Luang Prabang is one of the most interesting places that you’ll have a chance to experience during a visit to the treasure chest that is Laos. The mystical Pak Ou Caves, as well as the Royal Palace Museum and the colonial architecture and temples of Luang Prabang are guaranteed to make a great vacation, not to mention a memorable experience. Also, Vientiane is another place that should not be missed if you’re ever in the country. Packed with French-inspired culture, Vientiane features a side of Laos that enjoys a slower pace of life. Taking a break and soaking up the vibe of this characteristic location enables the body and mind to really come together, especially in some of the most charming features of the city, such as the banks of the Nam Ngum River, or the Waterfalls of PhaXay.
Yummy
In the end, a definitely interesting and always welcomed part of every trip no matter what the destination is – the food. Asian cuisine is nothing new, but it’s a known fact that every food tastes best at its source. So, for all you foodies out there who love to combine interesting flavors with even more interesting new destinations, Laos is the perfect place to enjoy both. The always present street vendors and mobile food stalls make the charm of this country even more appealing and all those in search of a quick tasty snack at a reasonable price will definitely love browsing through the bee hive of interesting and unknown meals and delicacies. On the other hand, there are always a number of renowned restaurants everywhere you go, and Laos is no exception. Influenced by different Asian cuisines, the food in Laos combines familiar notes with new and creative tastes.
Experience Laos like you’ve experienced no other place before. Allow the scents, tastes and beauties of this Asian land to woo you into falling in love with it. The old saying goes that it’s better to ask forgiveness, than permission; you will need neither, as the mystical Laos has never disappointed anyone.
