  • 5Personalised and welcoming cultural experience

    This experience was really interesting and lots of fun. Our host picked us up from hotel and introduced us to the bamboo experience team. We were provided with quite a bit of information at first, about Lao culture and bamboo. We then had a go at weaving a coaster with bamboo. Lots of fun. Then onto the cooking part of the experience. This was brilliant as our guide helped us prepare several dishes. Very tasty. After lunch we had a go at some dance moves before being taken back to our hotel. As a small group tour this was very personal and this added to the enjoyment. Thanks to all the bamboo experience team. Well done.

  • 5Best cooking experience so far

    Really enjoyable time with extremely friendly guide and staff and informative talk on bamboo and its many uses... practical task in creating a bamboo coaster (a lot harder than it looked but guys on hand to help us out, with encouragement ).Great outdoor cooking lesson and some very tasty food produced, especially the marinated fish in banana leaf). Stunning views from a beautiful bamboo house. Peaceful morning!! Finished off with a bit of dancing between long bamboo sticks.

About Luang Prabang

Luang Prabang is a small royal town in northern Laos on the Mekong, with gilded temples, French colonial houses, morning alms-giving and nearby waterfalls.

Luang Prabang sits on a peninsula where the Nam Khan river joins the Mekong, ringed by green mountains. It was the royal capital of the Lao kingdom until 1975, and its whole old centre is a World Heritage site, a mix of Lao temples and French colonial shophouses. Wat Xieng Thong, built in the 16th century, has sweeping roofs and glass mosaics, and the former Royal Palace now serves as the national museum.

Top-ranked sights in Luang Prabang: Kuang Si Falls (Tat Kuang Si), Pak Ou Caves, Whisky Village (Ban Xang Hai).
