It&#8217;s a highlight of Laos for many visitors. You won&#8217;t want to leave this spot with any regrets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on how long you plan to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/backpacking-laos-on-a-budget\/\">backpack Laos<\/a>, whether that be one week or one month, it is best to spend a minimum of three days in Luang Prabang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will give you enough time to see the impressive waterfalls, explore the temples, admire the township, and relax in one of Southeast Asia&#8217;s quaintest spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personally, I have spent a mixture of time in this city, from 3 nights on my first visit, which honestly left me craving more, to 1 week on my most recent trip. This spot is a great base if you work online or are just looking to slow down your travels a bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full wp-image-12066\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/3-days-in-luang-prabang-4.webp\" alt=\"royal palace at the luang prabang night market during sunset\" class=\"wp-image-69378\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/3-days-in-luang-prabang-4.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/3-days-in-luang-prabang-4-600x400.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/3-days-in-luang-prabang-4-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">royal palace at the luang prabang night market during sunset<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"day-one-temples-markets\">Day One: Temples &amp; Markets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On your first day, you will explore some of the most popular temples, getting a good overview of the city and its surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the evening, check out the popular Luang Prabang Night Market for street food and souvenir shopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"morning-temples-and-night-markets\">Morning- Temple Hopping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no better way to start your time in Luang Prabang than by exploring the many temples. Before setting off, make sure to grab yourself a delicious breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personally, I found it rather difficult to find an affordable breakfast spot, though our favorite quickly became <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.co.nz\/Restaurant_Review-g295415-d1733459-Reviews-Joma_Bakery_Cafe-Luang_Prabang_Luang_Prabang_Province.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Joma Bakery Cafe<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you are fueled for the daytime to check out some of the best temples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The impressive <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/discoverlaos.today\/luangprabang\/thing-to-do\/wat-pa-phai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wat Pa Phai<\/a> <\/strong>is a great temple to visit. It has a gold and red wooden fresco depicting life here in the 1800s. This temple is a little bit forgotten by tourists, so there will not be many other people there, but it is worth checking out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wat Mai Suwannaphumaham<\/strong> is another awesome temple to check out. It is the largest temple here you can explore and is extremely grand. The interior and exterior are covered with black and red lacquer with gold leaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Royal Palace<\/strong> is next, though it is more of a museum than a temple. Here, you can see religious objects, weapons, statues, screens, paintings, and even Laos&#8217;s crown jewels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Situated slightly outside of the main town, though within walking distance, <strong>Wat Xieng Thong<\/strong> is one of my personal favorites. This is the most historically significant temple in the city and one of the highest symbols of Buddhism in Laos.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1sBYN1Y-G8SqjgDEEf1uEtqwCqCCVU94&#038;ehbc=2E312F\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full wp-image-12074\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"568\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/three-day-laung-prabang-itinerary-10.webp\" alt=\"golden buddhas at temple in luang prabang\" class=\"wp-image-69388\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/three-day-laung-prabang-itinerary-10.webp 568w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/three-day-laung-prabang-itinerary-10-284x400.webp 284w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 568px) 100vw, 568px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">golden buddhas at a temple in luang prabang<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"566\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/three-day-laung-prabang-itinerary-16_1.webp\" alt=\"buddha underneath a pavilion at one of the incredible temples worth visiting on your luang prabang itinerary\" class=\"wp-image-69394\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/three-day-laung-prabang-itinerary-16_1.webp 566w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/three-day-laung-prabang-itinerary-16_1-283x400.webp 283w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 566px) 100vw, 566px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">buddha underneath a pavilion at one of the incredible temples<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"afternoon-pak-ou-caves\">Afternoon- Pak Ou Caves<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can either take a tuk-tuk back to the center of town or walk and grab lunch. If walking, good recommendations are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.co.nz\/Restaurant_Review-g295415-d2204906-Reviews-The_Belle_Rive_Terrace-Luang_Prabang_Luang_Prabang_Province.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Belle Rive Terrace<\/a> if you&#8217;re craving Asian or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.co.nz\/Restaurant_Review-g295415-d15247198-Reviews-Popolo-Luang_Prabang_Luang_Prabang_Province.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Popolo<\/a> for Italian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think the Pak Ou Caves is one of the best trips from Luang Prabang. It allows you to see this important historic and sacred site and experience life from the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can either organize your trip to <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/pak-ou-caves-luang-prabang-laos\/\">Pak Ou Caves<\/a> in advance from a tour agency or just turn up at the main dock opposite Saffron Coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you aren&#8217;t traveling solo, you might prefer to charter your own boat which will cost you around $25.00 \/ 500,000 LAK. However, be aware that you will need to bargain hard for a decent price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joining a shared boat at the dock (though these leave early morning) will cost around $7.50 \/ 140,000 LAK. The entry to the cave is not included either and will be an extra $3.00 \/ 60,000 LAK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visiting Pok Ou caves in the afternoon will allow you to escape the crowds and truly appreciate the beauty. The lower cave is full of Buddhas and has gorgeous views out to the Mekong River, while the upper cave is a literal cave (bring your phone light) with Buddhas as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To the upper cave, you will need to climb a couple of hundred steps, so wear comfortable shoes. The journey will also take around 4 hours in total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Check out my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/2-weeks-in-laos-itinerary\/\">2 weeks in Laos Itinerary<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-gyg-href=\"https:\/\/widget.getyourguide.com\/default\/activities.frame\" data-gyg-locale-code=\"en-US\" data-gyg-widget=\"activities\" data-gyg-number-of-items=\"3\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"66O8EST\" data-gyg-q=\"pak%20ou%20caves\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full wp-image-12076\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"569\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/three-day-laung-prabang-itinerary-12.webp\" alt=\"the incredible views out of pak ou caves over the mekong river\" class=\"wp-image-69390\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/three-day-laung-prabang-itinerary-12.webp 569w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/three-day-laung-prabang-itinerary-12-285x400.webp 285w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 569px) 100vw, 569px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">the incredible views out of pak ou caves over the mekong river<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"562\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/three-day-laung-prabang-itinerary-13.webp\" alt=\"decorative buddhas in pak ou caves looking out to the mekong river\" class=\"wp-image-69391\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/three-day-laung-prabang-itinerary-13.webp 562w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/three-day-laung-prabang-itinerary-13-281x400.webp 281w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 562px) 100vw, 562px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">decorative buddhas in pak ou caves looking out to the mekong river<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full wp-image-12063\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/3-days-in-luang-prabang-1.webp\" alt=\"hundreds of buddhas at pak ou caves in luang prabang\" class=\"wp-image-69375\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/3-days-in-luang-prabang-1.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/3-days-in-luang-prabang-1-600x400.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/3-days-in-luang-prabang-1-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">hundreds of buddhas at pak ou caves<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"evening-night-market\">Evening &#8211; Night Market<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bet you have worked up an appetite after all those stairs at Pak Ou Caves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No worries, after you&#8217;ve headed back to your accommodation, got cleaned up, and are no longer sweat-drenched it&#8217;s time for dinner with a visit to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/exploring-luang-prabang-night-market\/\">Luang Prabang Night Market<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just head towards the Royal Palace, and you will find the roads transformed, now covered in gazebos with goods lined up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/where-to-eat-in-luang-prabang\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the night market<\/a> is my favorite spot to eat here, so I had to include it!

Please be an informed tourist by respecting the monks and this religious practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though I say you should check out the Giving of Alms experience, please do not partake in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I recently traveled around Laos with an ex-monk turned tour guide who now calls <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/backpacking-luang-prabang\/\">Luang Prabang<\/a> home. He advised me that only Buddhists should partake in the ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each morning, at sunrise, the monks walk down the streets while the locals kneel and offer alms, usually in the form of food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tourists watching this practice are fine, though they do not respect it. Many people will use flash photography, get right up in the monk&#8217;s face, and try to take &#8216;selfies&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is obviously inappropriate behavior which resulted in negative connotations with tourists participating in the ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, stand on the other side of the street, give the locals and monks space, and respect this practice. Turn your camera&#8217;s shutter off and be as silent as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also head off the main street and into a more local area for a more authentic experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the Giving of Alms, head to the impressive Morning Market held in the town center. This is the perfect place to watch the locals begin their day and indulge in a traditional breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this does not sound like your thing, then why not try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.co.nz\/Restaurant_Review-g295415-d2015252-Reviews-Le_Bistro_Ban_Vat_Sene-Luang_Prabang_Luang_Prabang_Province.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Le Bistro Ban Vat Sene<\/a>?

Now, depending on your interests, I will let you decide what best suits you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rice Farming Experience<\/strong>: I chose this on my recent trip to Laos. We <a href=\"https:\/\/www.viator.com\/en-NZ\/tours\/Luang-Prabang\/Half-Day-Living-Land-Rice-Farming-Experience\/d5466-172573P28?pid=P00147964&amp;mcid=42383&amp;medium=link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">booked this half-day trip,<\/a> and it was interesting. We did all the steps involved in the rice process, from planting, transplanting, drying, cooking, and finally, tasting. The tour included many snacks and even some rice wine at the end. Oh, plus, we got to plow with a water buffalo!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cooking Class<\/strong>: I think the perfect way to finish exploring a destination is through a cooking class. I really wanted to do one for vegetarians in Luang Prabang, where it would be a real local experience. Not only are you cooking Laos food, but you are also using traditional cooking and preparing techniques to create the dishes, such as cooking straight over fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chompet<\/strong>: If you don&#8217;t like tours or guided experiences, then definitely make the trip to explore Chompet on your own. This small rustic village is perfect for anyone wanting to get slightly off the beaten track and explore away from the typical tourist hotspots in the city center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best option to get to Chompet from Luang Prabang is to take the ferry from the unofficial pier called the cross-river ferry port on Google Maps. The ferry, which is just a simple local fishing boat, costs $0.20\/5,000 LAK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once in Chompet, it&#8217;s best to walk around and explore at your own pace. The only really must-do thing here is to see Wat Chompet on the hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full wp-image-12065\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/3-days-in-luang-prabang-3.webp\" alt=\"rice farming experience, an option for your luang prabang itinerary\" class=\"wp-image-69377\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/3-days-in-luang-prabang-3.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/3-days-in-luang-prabang-3-600x400.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/3-days-in-luang-prabang-3-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">getting messy on the rice farming experience<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"evening-garavek-storytelling\">Evening- Garavek Storytelling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finish off your Luang Prabang itinerary by heading to <a href=\"https:\/\/garavek.com\/Laos.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Garavek Storytelling<\/a> for a unique performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It does not officially begin until 6.30 pm, but it is best to purchase tickets when they first go on sale at 6.00 pm so you can reserve a seat by leaving something on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Next, simply head across the road to purchase drinks before it starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prepare for an intimate performance of Lao folklore during Garavek.
