Backpacking in Laos

Rating (10/10)

star star star star star star star star star star
From January to December

With its convenient location in Southeast Asia and close borders with the likes of Vietnam, China and Thailand, Laos is the perfect destination for the backpacker. Though you should be aware of local dangers such as diseases (don’t go too far off of the beaten track), this is small consolation to pay for an area of Asia so naturally preserved, largely underestimated by Westerners and providing fantastic value-for-money. Food, accommodation and expenses are generally cheap and you will also likely meet people here the like you never will again. Laos is a great place for backpackers, with the right visa.
