Itinerary

Lao Old House - Xiengman Village Hidden Treasure Walking Trails

one hour

This traditional Lao old house in Xiengman Village serves as the starting and ending point of the tour and the main hiking station. Travelers will explore the house and surrounding area, featuring local artwork, cultural displays, photographs explaining Lao traditions, and old household items used in daily village life. Guests can relax at the on-site café, enjoy the peaceful village atmosphere, and learn about Lao culture before and after the hike with insights from a local guide.
Wat Long Khoun

one hour

Travelers visit Wat Long Khoun, a historic 18th-century temple on the Mekong River opposite Luang Prabang’s Old Town. Our guide explains its royal history as a former purification temple for Lao kings, highlights the unique murals and traditional architecture, and shares stories about Buddhist rituals once performed here. Guests have time to explore the peaceful grounds and enjoy river views.
Wat Chomphet

one hour Admission included

Step into the heart of Xiengman Village and experience daily life and heritage like never before. Begin your journey at the Cultural Museum, where traditional Lao lifestyles come alive and you can try on authentic local costumes. Roll up your sleeves for hands-on crafts—weaving, bamboo work, and flower arranging—and immerse yourself in the village’s artistic traditions. Visit the village primary school, meet the bright, smiling students, and share small gifts or encouragement. Finish your walk with a scenic climb to Wat Chomphet, where panoramic views of the Mekong River and Luang Prabang await, perfectly paired with a relaxing cup of coffee or tea. Every step is a chance to connect with local culture, nature, and the warmth of the community.
Wat Had Siew

one hour

Travelers will visit at Wat Had Siew, a peaceful village temple known for its meditation hall, where local villagers and monks traditionally walk three times around the hall to seek peace and good fortune when experiencing bad dreams or misfortune. The visit offers insight into local spiritual traditions and village life. After the temple, the guide leads guests onto a hidden forest trail that begins near the temple grounds, gently transitioning from village life into the surrounding jungle on the way to a secluded Buddha shrine.
Wat Nong Sa Keo

one hour

Travelers will visit Wat Nong Sa Keo, a small and quiet temple surrounded by a peaceful lake. Accompanied by a local guide, guests will walk around the temple grounds, learn about its local religious importance, and observe the calm atmosphere of this lesser-visited site. The setting offers scenic views, a relaxing stop, and insight into rural Buddhist life. The temple is currently under restoration, allowing travelers to see ongoing community efforts to preserve it.
