The “Meandering the Mekong” trip allows visitors to float down the iconic river through Laos, a Southeast Asian country known for its mountainous terrain, French colonial architecture and Buddhist monasteries. The trip begins with a leisurely trip along the river toward Luang Prabang, the well-preserved former capital which is well known for its temples. There are frequent stops to explore villages, nature sites and remote temples along the river. The trip ends in Vientiane, the current capital of Laos. The guide for the expedition speaks fluent English and is acquainted with many of the local people along the river. Other fascinating opportunities include visiting local villages, attending cooking classes and enjoying remote waterfalls. The trip lasts for nine days at a cost of $2,900, though a necessary flight from Luang Prabang to Vientiane is not included.
