15+ Days in Laos: Temples, Rivers & Sleepy Riverside Towns
Take time for temples, river views and heritage towns on longer Laos trips
15+ day Laos itineraries are ideal for travelers who want enough time for temples, river life and laid-back towns, without feeling rushed from place to place. Routes often connect Vientiane, Vang Vieng and Luang Prabang, combining guided visits with pockets of free time to browse markets, track down a great coffee, and watch life unfold on the Mekong. Many Laos trips sit within wider journeys that also include Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam and China, yet Laos still receives meaningful time on the ground rather than a quick pass-through. Expect cultural highlights, scenic drives and easy walks, along with a choice of fully guided or partly guided styles, offered as both group and private options.
