LAOS EXPLORER SCHOOL TOUR

This "explorer" school tour allows students to discover the authentic side of Laos. With its meandering rivers, remote villages and tranquil cities, Laos is famous for its gentle pace that invites students to slow down and absorb their surroundings more thoroughly.

Laos's cities are a unique mix of golden Buddhist temples, French colonial architecture, and colourful markets, thick with aromas of incense and yet you do not need to travel far to find waterfalls, caves and jungle-clad mountains to explore.

Students will visit all the must-see sites and handsome colonial architecture in Vientiane, and unwind in the tranquil river city of Luang Prabang, with its saffron-robed monks and vibrant night markets.

This school tour combines inspiring activities, active field trips, the chance to explore rural communities, participate in conservation programs all with a special focus on education and cultural immersion. Combined with a meaningful community project this school tour will provide unique learning outcomes that reach far beyond the classroom.

Your school can incorporate a wide range of projects into this suggested itinerary to suit your trip's outcome. See our Project Types.

This is a suggested itinerary only and can be changed to suit each individual school group. We can specifically tailor each itinerary to ensure that we meet your schools learning objectives and requirements.
