You’ll fly along zip lines through the forest, abseil down waterfalls, cross raging rapids on wooden plank bridges, explore an evergreen canopy on walkways, and overnight in a tree house cottage in and around the Bolaven Plateau.

“Laos’ accessible remoteness presents a deceptively delicious destination,” is how PATA Compass, the official magazine of the Pacific Asia Travel Association, described the country in its November/December 2010 feature story “Simply Beautiful: as an eco-tourism hotspot, Laos is blossoming”.
Simply Beautiful focuses on the ease of access to numerous responsible tourism attractions from Champasak and Savannakhet Provinces in the south to Luang Prabang, Luang Namtha, and Bokeo Provinces in the northwest.
Highlights also include simple trips along the Tea Caravan Trail, Northern Heritage Route and Savannakhet Historic Trail, and natural, cultural and historical sites that can be easily explored in one day by bicycle, motorbike, or local transport.
