Laos & Cambodia

Stories, Spirit & the Slow Path

​

This journey winds through the quiet heart of Southeast Asia — along slow rivers, jungle trails, and ancient stone temples — all at a pace designed for curious, active travelers who want culture without the chaos.

​

Begin in serene Luang Prabang, Laos, where French colonial charm meets Buddhist calm. Here, we’ll explore vibrant markets, cruise the Mekong, and join locals for a traditional Baci blessing ceremony. Then travel overland to the sleepy village of Nong Khiaw, where dramatic limestone peaks set the scene for short walks, boat rides, and hammock time with a view.

​

Crossing into Cambodia, dive into the rich history and resilience of Phnom Penh before ending in Siem Reap, where Angkor Wat rises at sunrise and jungle temples whisper centuries of stories. Along the way, we’ll meet artisans, eat with locals, and stay in soulful, family-run guesthouses.

​
