Your Amazing Cycling Laos 5 Days begins in the UNESCO World Heritage city of Luang Prabang, a town renowned for its captivating temples and tranquil atmosphere. To truly embrace the spiritual essence of the city, your day will commence with an early morning rise to witness the venerable tradition of alms giving. You’ll find a respectful spot on the roadside to observe the serene procession of saffron-robed novices and monks silently collecting their daily offerings from the devout local community.
