Mystifying, Spiritual and Historic; Pak Ou Caves’ Thousands of Statues will Leave you in Awe

If you’re going to Luang Prabang, you might as well tick Pak Ou Caves onto your list of must-sees. Not only is the place unique, mystifying and spiritual, it is historical as well.

If you’re going to Luang Prabang, you might as well tick Pak Ou Caves onto your list of must-sees. Not only is the place unique, mystifying and spiritual, it is historical as well. There’s a connection between the site and the area, and you will find out that Pak Ou Caves’ past runs much deeper than Buddhism’s place in the country.

Pak Ou Caves, if translated means Caves at the Mouth of the Ou River. However, there is an even older name, one more familiar to the locals. It is called Tam Ting Caves, meaning Caves of a thousand Buddhas. And it couldn’t be more true. There are literally thousands of Buddha images and statues here, ranging in size to about the palm of your hand to human length. In fact, the latest count have about 4000 in here separated in two caves, 1500 in the upper one called Tam Pum and 2500 in the lower cave and main cave called Tam Ting. Most of these statues are carved from wood, covered with red or black lacquer, and finally covered with gold leaf, rounding out their final appearance. There are also a few made from animal horn, bronze or ceramic.

As mentioned before, the site existed well before the arrival of Buddhism. Animism reigned in Laos and the cave was considered holy and was associated with the river spirit. Even with the spread of Buddhism, the caves’ animist past continued, but evolved to incorporate the current religion. So, people paid respect to the site by placing their old Buddha statues there. This has been going on for more than 600 years now!

You may agree, the trip to Pak Ou caves is already a memorable journey in itself. The stretch of water is filled with beautiful scenes of nature and laid back rural life. As you approach the cave entrance from the river, you’ll get a view of the high cliffs and swirling water of the Nam Ou River as it joins the Mekong. As you approach the caves, you can even see the statues, as if they are all personally awaiting your arrival.

Most, if not all compliment their trip to Pak Ou with a visit to Kuang Si Falls, located nearby. These cascades are a marvel of a site. If you’re looking to cool off from the heat, then jump in the pools. If a light adventure and some exploration is something you’d like to do, then go on ahead and walk the surrounding area. Picnic lunch is also a great idea. So is just sitting down and relaxing.

Get your double dose of must see sites just outside of Luang Prabang with Exotissimo’s Pak Ou Caves and Kuang Si Falls day trip. For more on laid back Laos, see our tours here.

    Spiritual Awakening in Luang Prabang, Laos

    When it comes to being persuasive to visitors, Luang Prabang is a seasoned charmer. Nestled at the confluence of the mighty Mekong and Nam Khan rivers with forest covered mountains forming its backdrop, the town remains the countries number one draw.  Evocative scenes are not difficult to come by in the one-time Royal Capital. As the early-morning mists roll away from the Mekong, the streets fill up with saffron-robed monks collecting their daily alms, a ritual preserved for centuries - and more so here than anywhere else in Buddhist Asia. The gentle chimes of temple bells resound throughout the day, while the sound of diners chattering over riverside cocktails or gourmet meals defines the unobtrusive evening clamor. Although modernity has encroached in the shape of slick new cafes and hotels, Luang Prabang remains very much in touch with its past. The city is UNESCO World Heritage-listed, which means that most of its unique combination of cultural wonders such as royal palaces, traditional Lao wooden style buildings, French colonial architecture and ornate temples remain safeguarded. Highlights include Wat Xieng Thong and Phou Si Mountain, which is located atop a hill overlooking the city and offers incredible views across the city towards…

    Idyllic and Untouched – Lombok & the Gili Islands

    Known as the 'Island of the Gods', Bali's prominence as a destination is rightfully huge. In recent times, growing numbers of visitors have been looking a little further east to Lombok, where the fabled Gili Islands have emerged as one of Indonesia's premier beach havens.  For those who relish both comfort and exoticism, however, there is no better place than Bali. Many visitors barely scratch the surface of the island's deeply complex and spiritual Hindu culture, preferring to spend their time surfing the island's fabled breaks, relaxing in opulent resorts or enjoying life to its fullest in sleek beach clubs and international-class restaurants. The island's magical tapestry of enchanting temple ceremonies, vivid-green rice terraces and comfortable living, however, can be easily found in places such as the cultural center of Ubud, laidback beach towns like Lovina and Amed and in the glorious hinterland. Just to the east, Lombok is very different in character. The island is predominantly Muslim and is drier and more arid than Bali. Its highlight, the Gili Islands, with their coral reefs, stretches of white sand and friendly locals, however, offer perhaps the most blissful beach experience in Indonesia.

    EXO Explores – Western Honshu & South Japan

    The southern reaches of Japan don't get as much tourist footfall as the areas around Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto, but they are no less alluring. Western Honshu, known as Chugoku, is best known for the legacy of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, its main city. However, visitors can experience everything from peaceful mountain scenery to exquisite seafood and culinary encounters with the potentially lethal fugu (blowfish), a specialty of the town of Shimonoseki on the far western trip of Honshu. Beyond western Honshu lies Kyushu, the third largest island of Japan and the most southwesterly of its four main islands. Rugged and mountainous, and rich in volcanic activity, the island is a favorite of hikers. The peaks of the Kirishima chain are ripe for exploring while the fearsome Mount Aso is the country's most active volcano. Excellent trekking can also be found on Shikoku, where pilgrims have walked clockwise around the island for more than a millennium, following in the footsteps of Buddhist saint Kobo Daishi. Far removed from Japan's main four islands and stretching south to within 200 kilometers of Taiwan, Okinawa shows visitors yet another side to the country. Known for its friendly, sub-tropical, climate and string of…

    EXO Explores – Art & Architecture in Cambodia

    Aesthetics have long played a central part in the culture of Cambodia. The temples at Angkor are widely recognised as one of history's crowning architectural achievements. Meanwhile, a few generations later, the colonial and post-colonial eras ushered in a new age of Khmer creativity , reflected in everything from architecture to music, film and art. The dark days of Khmer Rouge rule and its aftermath served to stunt this blossoming, but guests visiting today can appreciate the country's unique artistic heritage in a number of often-indulgent ways. Available journeys vary in scope. In the capital Phnom Penh, a vibrant architectural scene can be appreciated through informative walking tours, while a similar experience can be enjoyed in sleepy Battambang. Other unforgettable memories can be created through sunrise appreciation of the temples at Angkor and an insight to Cambodia's incredible artistic heritage with one of the country's most innovative creative collectives.

    EXO Explores: Halong Bay & North Vietnam

    No natural draw encapsulates the otherworldly beauty of Vietnam quite like Halong Bay. Jutting out almost perpendicularly from the Gulf of Tonkin, 1600 or so limestone karsts stud the emerald waters of the bay. The seascape, which is UNESCO World Heritage-listed, is arguably the country's most recognisable tourist draw and it is fully deserving of its fame. A legion of cruising junks - some basic, some salubrious - ply the waters and spending at least one night sleeping under the stars out on the water is an integral part of any Vietnam itinerary. Although Halong Bay is undoubtedly the banner attraction in northern Vietnam, there are plenty of other stirring experiences to be had. Much of the area is rugged, mountainous and often very remote and the scenery is almost uniformly spectacular. Provinces such as Cao Bang and Ha Giang offer some of the most memorable vistas in the region, but remain relatively inaccessible. Equally compelling and easier to get to is the little town of Sapa. Located high in the Tonkinese Alps near towering Mount Fansipan, the highest peak in Vietnam, Sapa was established as a hill station by the French in 1922 and is the main center for…

    EXO Explores – Penang, Malaysia

    Compact and convenient yet brimming with exotic attractions and historic sights, Penang is one of Malaysia's banner destinations. Strategically important due to its location in the Straits of Malacca, the island has acted as a crossroads for trade and a link between Asia's two halves for centuries. It's colourful history can be easily digested in the city of George Town. The island's main hub, it revels in a sensual melange of influences where watermarked Chinese shop houses are located a few narrow streets away from shops selling Indian spices and grand mosques.  The city is also home to some of Malaysia's (and subsequently the world's) most delicious hawker food. These open-air stalls are particularly strong on Chinese dishes, but seafood and the island's legendarily creamy durian are other must-haves. Out in the countryside, things are no less enticing. The beaches of the north coast supply tropical lounging, while mountainous jungle showcases the island's wilder side.

    EXO Explores – Pakse & The South, Laos

    Previously overshadowed by bigger hitting destinations further north, the southern section of Laos is coming into its own as a magnet for tourists. From the limestone karsts and dense forests of the Phou Hin Boun NPA (National Protected Area) to the coffee plantations and roaring waterfalls of the verdant Bolaven Plateaux, southern Laos is prime territory for nature lovers who relish deviating from the beaten path. The landscapes brim with potential for derring-do with prime activities including motorcycle odysseys into the wilderness or kayaking or rafting amidst pristine nature. There's also plenty of scope to ease things down to the more familiar laid-back pace of life in Laos. A good spot to indulge in such a recharge is Si Pan Don. Better known as the 4000 Islands, this riverine archipelago hard by the border with Cambodia offers palm fringes islands set against a lazy and winding section of the Mekong River. Si Phan Don is not the only Mekong River attraction worth diverting to in the southernmost Champasak province of Laos. The beautiful island of Don Daeng, directly opposite Champasak town, is ideal for exploration by means of pedal power and is close to Wat Phou, a UNESCO-listed pre-Angkorian temple…

    EXO Explores: Classic Japan

    From the Alpine peaks of chilly Hokkaido in the north to the coral reefs of Okinawa over 3000 kilometers south, Japan has a collection of greatest hits to send the pulse of any travel enthusiast racing. Vibrant cities supply plenty of sensory stimuli, but their neon lit pace is offset by a plethora of natural splendor. Towering mountain ranges extend down the country's spine, offering visual manna and abundant opportunities for exploration of the great outdoors. Iconic Mount Fuji is the country's highest peak and is easily accessed from Tokyo. Great hiking territory can be found in various locations however. The awe-inspiring jagged peaks of the northern Alps in Honshu are considered the country's premier trekking grounds. For post workout respite, meanwhile, traditional ryokan (inns) with onsen (hot springs) are perfect for relaxing aching limbs. Top onsen spots include Kinosaki in Honshu and Dogo in Shikoku. Delving into Japan's rich culture and fascinating history is also a must for visitors. Guests can overnight in a temple at famous ancient pilgrimage sites such as Mount Koya. Meanwhile, the country's most recent past is thrown into focus at Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park and Museum, dedicated to victims of the atomic bomb that…

    EXO Explores: Battambang Cambodia

    Of all of Cambodia's large urban centers, Battambang is undoubtedly the most alluring. Located amidst attractive rolling countryside to the west of Tonle Sap Lake, the town enjoys a peaceful riverside location and possesses some of the country's best-preserved colonial architecture. Although it is laid-back to the point of being horizontal, the city has its own unique dynamism. In fact, it has become known for being at the cutting edge of an emerging Cambodian art scene with several galleries and creative spaces around town showcasing the work of local artists. At the core of the city's artistic revival is Phare Ponleu Selpak. The sprawling arts establishment, established by one-time refugees from Cambodia's civil war, teaches visual, applied and performing arts to underprivileged kids. Its centerpiece is its circus school with students performing in energetic and often-thought provoking productions under the school's big top. The healthy art scene in the city, meanwhile, is complemented by a clutch of high-quality restaurants specializing in everything from fine French dining to more humble, but still delicious, Khmer delicacies. Battambang's bucolic hinterland is also well worth exploring. The famous "bamboo train" - an eccentric and noisy contraption - runs along a short section of track…

    EXO Explores: Central & Northeastern Thailand

    Often bypassed by travellers rushing either to the mountains of the north or the beaches of the south, the central and northeastern reached of Thailand have plenty of attributes to woo visitors.  Central Thailand is the country's cultural heartland. Fed by the Chao Phraya River, the fertile plain north of Bangkok births much of the nation's rice crop while towns such as Ayutthaya and Sukhothai were formerly capitals of once-mighty Thai kingdoms. Steeped in colourful history, the majestic ruins at both towns reward exploration by bike or by foot. To the northwest of Bangkok, mountain ranges climb towards the Myanmar border, the lush peaks hiding spectacular foaming waterfalls. The base for exploration of this wilderness is Kanchanaburi, a friendly riverside town famous for its role during WWII when occupying Japanese troops enlisted POWs and conscripted Southeast Asians to build the infamous 'Death Railway' to what was then known as Burma. Northeastern Thailand, otherwise known as Isaan, is, to tourists at least, the country's great unknown. The giant drought-prone area is the poorest part of Thailand and banner attractions are fewer here than in other regions. Nevertheless, it is a fascinating cultural makeup - it has more in common with Laos…

    Adrift in Asia – Why Cruising is the Best Way to See the Region

    Cruising as a tourist endeavour has truly stood the test of time and is one of the fastest growing travel sectors today.  Part of the reason for its success is the way it has diversified to meet the needs of today's more sophisticated and demanding customers. That's certainly the case in Asia where guests can indulge themselves in an amazing array of water-bound experiences on the region's rivers and seascapes. In many ways, travelling by boat is one of the most natural ways to navigate Asia. In areas such as the Mekong Delta in Vietnam, one of the most impressive stretches of water anywhere in the world, river vessels are an integral part of life. It is a similar scenario in other parts of the region such as Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia. In Indonesia, meanwhile, boats are the main link between the countless islands that make up the archipelago. For guests, voyages in Asia vary wildly in scope and in style. The region's oceans brim with maritime promise. In Vietnam, karst-studded Halong Bay is arguably the nation's most compelling tourist must-see attraction. A visit to the north of the country is not complete without a trip to Halong Bay, where placid…

    EXO Explores – Cruising Indonesia

    There's a sheer abundance of islands in the Indonesian archipelago, not to mention the countless mighty rivers that puncture the interiors of vast states such as Sumatra, West Papua and Kalimantan. Therefore, boat travel is, to many Indonesians, as natural a process as waking up in the morning. Tourists, however, often avoid the giant ferries that ply the waters all the way from Sumatra in the west to West Papua in the east. A far more visitor-friendly way of experiencing life at sea in Indonesia is to hop aboard one of the many cruises that operate in the country. Indeed, with so many sights to see and so much diversity to experience from island to island, there is arguably no better way of cramming in the best of the nation. Unsurprisingly, there's a multitude of itineraries to choose from. Vessels, meanwhile, range from giant cruise liners to boutique liveaboards, handcrafted in the style of the ships used by seafarers from across the archipelago. Routes vary from one or two stop voyages, to epic expeditions that extend all the way from Singapore along the length of Indonesia to Queensland in Australia.  Special interest groups can be catered for and a wide…

    EXO Explores – River Cruising & Beach Breaks, Myanmar

    Myanmar's waterways are as integral to the country's character and soul as its golden pagodas and multitude of ethnic groupings. There are over 5000 miles of navigable river in the nation, and boat travel has traditionally been one of the main ways of getting around. These days, with domestic airlines and improvements in infrastructure making travel within the country a lot easier, the country's huge fleet of riverboats do less of a trade than in the past.  However, those with plenty of time on their hands will find that taking the watery route remains the most evocative way to appreciate the languid rhythms of Burmese life. While government ferries can be ramshackle, a number of private companies operate more luxurious itineraries on new vessels or upgraded relics from the British colonial era ranging from a day or two to over a week. The most important river in the country is the Irrawaddy, which is navigable all the way from its delta to the town of Bhamo in Kachin State during the dry season and even further in the wet season. The most popular Irrawaddy cruises take in the sights at Mandalay and Bagan while longer itineraries explore less charted, but…

    Raja Ampat: The Ultimate Paradise

    In recent years, it has become fashionable to ramp up destinations by calling them the ‘Maldives of Vietnam’ or the ‘Maldives of Thailand.’ Forget about the Maldives. This is Raja Ampat, and to embellish it as anything else would be insulting. Islands east of Bali form a gradient between the known and unknown, fading into both impossible tropical beauty and complete obscurity due to their remoteness. Among islands on the far end of this spectrum, Raja Ampat, which in local language means ‘Four Kings,’ reigns supreme. Consisting of some 1,000 dramatic limestone islands off the coast of West Papua, Raja Ampat is an archipelago in the hinterlands of Indonesia’s exotic far east.  For those with a passion for travel and a liking of unique destinations, here's why Raja Ampat demands a dramatic rearrangement of bucket-list priorities.   Paradise Found Part of Raja Ampat’s mythic status is its famed remoteness. It has always been just far enough out of reach to ensure that only well-heeled explorers or divers could go there. But times are changing. After the introduction of the archipelago’s first direct commercial flights in December 2016, it has become more convenient than ever to get there. What was once…

    New Tour Myanmar: Mergui Short Expedition (5 Days / 4 Nights)

    An increase in tourist numbers visiting the region means that tracts of truly unexplored paradise are in short supply in Southeast Asia. One surviving gem, however, is the Mergui archipelago in southern Myanmar. Decades in self-imposed isolation weren’t regarded as being particularly positive for the country. Yet, this extended exile did have the effect of helping to protect many of the pristine landscapes. So while destinations such as Koh Phi Phi and Phuket in Thailand are a favourite with tourists, the islands of the Mergui peninsula see a fraction of that traffic. The result is a destination that ranks as one of the region’s most beautiful coastal frontiers. This journey provides a fitting introduction to the wonders of the archipelago; taking in beach picnics, kayak trips around hidden lagoons, and encounters with the sea gypsies who make their living in the area. “Every guidebook lists the Mergui Islands as one of the top destinations in Myanmar. Until now, all regional cruises lasted a minimum of week. This new three-night cruise will allow people to experience this amazing area, while leaving enough time to explore the country’s other jaw-dropping highlights” commented Mex Barrows, Product Manager, EXO Myanmar.

And the Lamima, a luxury vessel perfect for leisure cruising, is a fitting floating home for this epic journey around the stunning seascapes of the area.   Guests can cruise at their leisure around the beautiful scenery while stopping off to drink deep from the national park’s heady natural elixir. Life on board the Lamima is relaxed, with opportunities to snorkel, kayak or use the ship’s spa facilities.   Other highlights include beach barbecues, stops at deserted beaches and encounters with wildlife.   See the full itinerary for more information or contact our expert Travel Consultants at [email protected] to discuss opportunities like this.
