Adventure travellers who want to experience Asia "as it once was" should arrange a holiday to Laos.
A recent article in the Daily Telegraph highlighted the rugged landscape and natural beauty of the country, stating that the mountains and the Mekong River dominate the scenery.
Laos boasts the smallest population in Indochina but it is the number one choice for those who want to see another side of Asia than that offered by neighbouring countries.
"Largely undeveloped, devoutly Buddhist and blessed geographically with natural beauty, this country will leave a lasting impression on all who visit," the article stated.
Vietnam is another country which adventure travellers will find exciting, with the newspaper highlighting the varied geography and friendly people as being two of the main attractions.
Those visiting Laos may wish to take in the beautiful town of Luang Prabang, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site boasting a mixture of traditional architecture with colonial structures.
Laos
I haven't been to Laos but a friend of mine migrated their and she showed me a lot of her pictures trekking and having a good time. The place is so serene and it is an ideal escape from the busy urban life. I would love to go there someday.
