With its rich ethno-diversity and endlessly impressive landscapes, Laos is a hugely suitable place for an active and stimulating family holiday.

The one-time royal capital Luang Prabang is the most popular destination in the country and delivers a plentiful supply of accessible restaurants and other tourist facilities. The city is also a fantastic base from which to strike out to nearby sights such as Kuang Si Waterfall and the Pak Ou cave. It also makes a sensible departure point for trekking and other adventures in northern Laos.

Like Luang Prabang, Vang Vieng is well worthy of some time on any family’s itinerary. The sleepy town, once the whispers of backpacker legend, has transformed in recent years with a renewed focus on sustainable active travel suitable for all ages. From zip-lining, trekking, kayaking and cycling to enjoying lazy days relaxing beside the Nam Song river, Vang Vieng has it all.

Vientiane is equally deserving of some time in the spotlight for family draws. In the Lao capital, cooking classes or a trip to nearby Buddha Park, an intriguing collection of Buddhas, can make for superb visits.

Thrills can be found the length and breadth of the country. Further south, the beautiful island of Don Daeng, directly opposite Champasak, is ideal for exploration by means of pedal power. Other active pursuits in this part of Laos include kayaking or rafting amidst pristine nature.
