Highlights

Experience the sacred alms-giving tradition of Laotian Buddhist monks, a practice that continues to inspire and humble people around the world. Each day, a silent procession of about three hundred monks walks by, collecting offerings of sticky rice and other food in their bronze bowls. This ritual, a symbol of their humility, provides the community with the opportunity to make offerings.

Witness this mystical experience up close in the early morning hours and participate by offering food to the monks. Afterward, a short drive will take you to the breathtaking Kuang Si Waterfalls, known for their white limestone and calcified tiers. Take a refreshing dip in the cool blue pools below and contemplate the mystical culture of Buddhism in Laos in a serene natural setting.
Awaken to the resonant temple gong, marking the beginning of Luang Prabang's enchanting daily tradition.
Participate in the age-old Buddhist practice of alms giving, where monks humbly collect their sustenance for the day.
Join this sacred ritual by offering food to the monks and engaging with them in a profound cultural exchange.
Enjoy the convenience of hassle-free transfers to and from your hotel, ensuring a seamless experience.
