Tourism  
Luang Prabang, beautiful mountain and jungle scenery, Asian culture and historical sites are among the chief attractions of Laos.

Most of the countryside remains unseen by visitors. By all means, take in the primary sights of Laos, but be sure to also make excursions into the provinces. Much of what you'll see is stunning, and you can go days without seeing another traveler.
