Central Laos

Ever since Tha Khaek opened its French colonial petals to travellers a few years back and the dramatic 7km-long underworld of Tham Kong Lo became a must-see fixture on itineraries, Central Laos with its honeycomb of caves and dragon-green jungle, has been enticing you to visit.

Immersive treks in Dong Phu Vieng NPA allow you to sleep with the spirits in a Katang village, while caving and kayaking in Khammuan and Bolikhamsai Provinces can be organised in Tha Khaek.

This part of the country claims the most forest cover and highest concentrations of wildlife, including some species that have disappeared elsewhere in Southeast Asia. With its rugged, intrepid travel, and stylish pockets of comfort in Savannakhet and Tha Khaek, central Laosmakes for a great place to combine your inner Indiana Jones with a Bloody Mary.
