Tour Overview
Laos is a country worth visiting within its own right. For those with limited time or wishing to extend a trip this tour is perfect. Luang Prabang is nestled in the valleys of the mountainous north, a former royal capital and now a World Heritage site. This enchanting city, dominated by golden-roofed temples and bright saffron-robed monks exudes a spiritual essence that will surely capture your soul. The small capital city, Vientiane is charming, with French style buildings and wide boulevards.

Our Trusted Partner's Responsible and Sustainable Travel Policy
It has always been at the heart of Buffalo Tours’ ethos to not exploit local communities’ culture and environment. We ensure our tours are:
low impact on natural resources respectful and observant of local customs and supportive of local economies
The vast majority of Buffalo Tours’ staff are locally employed and all our guides are, ensuring a more authentic experience for travelers, as well as sensitivity to local customs and culture. We also involve local communities in remote areas that we travel to. An example of this is Mai Chau, where we ask local communities for input into our treks and to provide homestay accommodation. Buffalo Tours also had NGOs undertaking independent assessments and interviews with local communities about our lodge development in Mai Chau and are employing local ethnic minority staff there.
We are involved in a number of initiatives and are always looking to develop more. We donate thousands of dollars annually to humanitarian causes and were the first travel company in Vietnam to offer volunteer travel. Our genuine commitment to Responsible Travel is increasingly well-known and our programs are evolving. Buffalo Tours’ CEO, Tran Trong Kien, recently won the 2007 ‘Face of the Future’ award from the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA), in recognition for his positive contribution to the local community in promoting sustainable practices.
