Laos, the land that time forgot
Buddha’s
and statuary resting for centuries in ancient pagodas, mendicant
saffron-robed monks assiduously seeking alms, and pristine hills that serve
as endless markers of Asian history, time gives the illusion of standing
still in Laos. As the least developed and populated country in Indochina,
one feels the calm of a country ordered by Buddha himself.
With an
elephant population numbering in excess of a million, Laos has a primitive
charm that places mind and body in a state of synchronicity felt few other
places in the modern world. The lack of foreign influence offers tourists an
unparalleled glimpse into the simplicity of traditional South East Asian
life.
Rural
Laos is a veritable smorgasbord for the senses. The sights, sounds and
smells of this exotic destination are unique in all of the world. It is a
place that boasts rare species of plant, animal and insect life.
A land
locked country that has opened herself to exploration and been dubbed one of
Asia’s “great new adventure tourism destinations”.
Laos is a
land of stunning natural beauty. Part of the beauty stems from the diversity
of geographical experiences available to the traditional or adventure
tourist.
Laos has
vast mountain ranges, beautiful gorges, mighty rivers, and forests filled
with rich and exotic fauna and flora. And around any corner one might find
an amazing waterfall simply awaiting your discovery.
Visit
Laos and experience the beauty of heaven on earth!
