Morning, we visit Wat Mai Suwannaphumaham (often simply Wat Mai or Wat May) is the largest and most richly decorated of the temples in Luang Prabang. Continue our visit at the fascinating National Museum (Royal Palace). Our next place to visit is Wat Xieng Thong, the royal city’s most important temple. Lunch at a local restaurant.

After lunch we’ll visit either the UXO Visitor’s Centre or peruse local crafts at Ock Pop Tok. Next, we’ll explore the 16th century Wat Visoun, known for its enormous stupa and its collection of old gilded Buddhas.

We end the day’s tour on top of Mount Phousi in the city centre. Enjoy a sunset view of the gilded stupa as well as a panoramic view of the city and surrounding landscape.

Overnight in Luang Prabang. (B,L)
