Pick a day tour from Luang Prabang
Most first-time travelers want the same three things — the falls, the caves, and a quiet hour in the old quarter. Orchao tours each of those for you, but with the timing flipped so you avoid the coach buses.
Kuang Si Falls
Leave at 8 AM. In the water by 9:15. Out before the bus tours arrive at 10:30.
Pak Ou Caves
Slow boat upriver. Whisky village stop. Lunch with a Hmong-Lao family.
Morning alms walk
Prep the sticky rice the night before. Sit on the curb at 5:45 AM. Don't take photos of monks' faces.
