About this tour

In Khamla's words.

A late-afternoon visit to Wat Phou, the pre-Angkor Khmer temple complex 6 km from Champasak town. Climb the staircase to the sanctuary as the light turns gold; learn how the Khmer kingdom reached this far north before it was a Lao town.

Can I cancel?
Free cancellation up to 48 hours before.
How do I reach my guide?
Khamla will message you on WhatsApp the day before to confirm pickup and meeting details. You'll have a direct phone number, not a call center.
