Laos and Gecko Travel
The Lao People's Democratic Republic - probably one of the least known countries in the world let alone in S. E. Asia! And yet it's one of the most idyllic destinations possessing, what is certainly, some of the region's most spectacular scenery.
Almost entirely mountainous and still covered with large tracts of tropical jungle, Lao is separated from Vietnam to the East by the, up until recently, almost impenetrable Annamite Mountains, and from Thailand in the West by the mighty Mekong River. China's remote Yunnan Province lies just to the North and the swathes of Northern Cambodia's forests stretch away to the South.
With myriad hilltribe peoples still leading largely traditional lifestyles in the mountains, the spectacular Khmer ruined temple of Wat Phu in the South, the sublime 4 Thousand Islands of the Cambodian border region and the beautifully preserved temples and French colonial architecture of former royal capital, Luang Prabang there's not only stunning scenery to be seen.
An unusual and fascinating country to visit! |
