The LNTA’s Web-based Knowledge Center has added “A Guide to Salavan” to the site’s growing list of online provincial and tour circuit guides, brochures, and maps. The 48-page guide presents in-depth information on a range of attractions and activities few have seen, and charts four easy-to-follow tour circuits with maps that explore the Tad Lo Waterfall Park, weaving communities employing obscure methods and looms, Indochina War relics, Bolaven Plateau viewpoints, and little-known ethnic groups. Southern Laos’s Salavan Province is quickly and easily accessed from Pakse.

Exotissimo Travel has begun offering a new three-day cycling tour of the Lao capital, “Unseen Vientiane”. The program starts with “Insight into Lao Crafts”, a presentation by a local expert with proceeds going to charity. “Explore Buddhism” comes next and combines a Buddhist education with a market visit, Lao dining, cultural performance, and Lao massage. During “Wat Sokapaluang”, guests present alms to monks, and visit a forest temple. The tour has become popular as it dedicates itself to ideas and concepts crucial to Lao history and culture, but aren’t easy to find or access.
