Champasak is a Laos province located in the South and quietly sits along the Mekong River. If there is a way to describe the beauty of this town, it would be a fusion of the ancient world, breathtaking natural beauty, and tranquil river life. Once a powerful kingdom, Champasak offers everything from cultural, and historical, to natural sites for any traveler. Come join Absolute Asia Tours to uncover the best way to explore Champasak – your way!
Best things to do in Champasak
Your trip should start off at one of the most notable historic sites in Laos, Wat Phou. It is one heritage site under UNESCO, built between the 10th and 14th century which has been described as a predecessor of Angkor Wat. The site translates to ‘mountain of the spirit’. And it is located at the bottom of Phou Khao Mountain, offering unrivaled views as well as stone sculptures of Hindu gods. If you visit these sites during the Bun Wat Phou festival, get ready for eye-catching festivities and thousands of pilgrim Buddhists from different parts of the world.
To enjoy the local ambiance, wander around Champasak town, a picturesque riverside town that is home to French colonial structures and traditional Laotian houses. You may find serene streets to walk along, a riverside cafe where you can chill, or you could go on a private boat excursion around the Mekong river. We can prepare a customized Champasak tour for you and guarantee that you capture the best out of this serene region with Absolute Asia Tours.
Enjoy The 4,000 Islands
Downstream, the Mekong contains my favorite section; the 4,000 Islands, or Si Phan Don, as well as the surrounding clusters. These remote islands are perfect for vacationing for anyone seeking relaxation and peace. Take a boat to Don Khone where you can ride a bike through charming villages and old relics like the French railroad, accompanied by the beautiful Liphi Waterfalls.
