(Mô tả về Bắc Lào)
Northern Laos, the country’s most established tourist region, offers a captivating blend of spirituality, history, and raw natural beauty. Centered around the spiritual heart of Luang Prabang, this region is ideal for travelers seeking authentic cultural depth, high-quality boutique accommodation, and ethical adventure tourism. Beyond the temples and waterfalls, partners can sell journeys into the rugged, mountainous provinces like Luang Namtha and Phongsaly, which specialize in community-based eco-tourism (CBET), trekking, and meeting diverse ethnic groups. It serves as the perfect entry point for a first-time Laos visitor or an excellent pairing with Northern Vietnam/Thailand itineraries.
