Detailed Description

The famed Mekong River traverses the hills and countryside giving you the opportunity to adventure along its course on this 15-day vacation meant for everyone that has ever wanted to travel through time, journeying beyond the years of modernity and into the landscapes and history that has shaped the spectacular sites and people of Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos. Whether exploring the temples of Angkor or drifting down the Nam Song River in an inner tube, the splendor of Southeast Asia is right in front of your eyes, ready for you to take that step into adventure.

Your journey begins in Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand where the skyscrapers are as illustrious as the gilded temples. The quiet streets are mythological, present and wondrous for all those that believe enough in their whereabouts to find them. You will quickly settle into the metropolis before venturing to Siem Reap, Cambodia where the city is surrounded by the lush jungle and the endless majesty of Angkor Wat. Explore the ancient city on a guided tour, where the grandeur of the temple and the entire religious complex is yours to explore; from decorated reliefs to towering spires, your days within the trees scouring the jungle for unearthed temples will be nothing less than magical. Arrive in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, where the colonial architecture gives a charming touch to the country’s largest city. Your time along the Mekong starts where the waterway has been a revered highway for city for centuries. Journeying up river brings you to Kratie, a large town, or small city, known for its remaining French architecture and the focused pod of River Dolphins that tend to linger near the harbor.

Once in Laos you will find yourself within the wondrous area of 4,000 Islands, where the Mekong has rushed and washed over the landscape for millennia creating thousands of islands, large and small, within a centralized area. From waterfalls to rolling mountains, whitewater rapids to stunning temples, you can relax in a hammock by the quiet rush of the river or visit the mountainside remains of Khmer relics. Once in Luang Prabang you will venture into the second largest city in Laos, where the jungle feels like it has crept into the city streets in absolute artistry. The Jewel of Laos shines beneath the mountain summits and lush trees, where elephants can rehabilitate, temples can sparkle and every morning monks ask for alms. Behind the charming streets of Vang Vieng you can float down the river in relaxed style while the landscape sprouts around you. Traverse the streets of Vientiane, Laos’s capital city, where the French bakeries continue to produce remarkable fresh baked goods, the beauty of the culture and the country continue to shine in the art and along the streets, and the oldest stupa in Laos practically glows. Upon your return to Bangkok you journey through Southeast Asia will finish; however, the adventure doesn’t have to end.
