Images of Laos

By , About.com Guide

The best of Laos is way off the beaten track. Sure, the cities of Vientiane and Luang Prabang have a lot to offer, too... but your experience of Laos just isn't complete until you've left the cities.

Imagine taking a boat ride up the Mekong to see 1,500-year-old temple ruins in the process of being reclaimed by the jungle. Or imagine riding a motorcycle to see a plain of stone jars, whose purpose is yet to be discovered by archaeologists.

This is a growing archive of images taken in Laos' most interesting places. See what Laos has to offer... and before you know it, you'll be exploring its trails for yourself!
