Visit Laos – Untouched Nature

Visit Laos – Untouched Nature

The Lao People's Democratic Republic traces its cultural and historic roots to the Lan Xang Hom Khao, known as the Kingdom of a Million Elephants Under the White Parasol. This powerful realm thrived for nearly four centuries as one of Southeast Asia’s largest kingdoms.

Modern Laos welcomes travelers with authentic experiences and a warm, hospitable spirit. The nation remains largely unspoiled, where nature defines much of its identity.

Preserved Natural Riches

Forests cover around 40% of Laos, and the country protects its unique biodiversity through 20 National Protected Areas that sustain both the environment and rare wildlife species.

“Untouched Nature” truly captures the soul of Laos — a land where tradition and serenity coexist harmoniously.
