Getting Off the Tourist Trail in Laos
If you think Laos is all about Luang Prabang and a quick river cruise, think again! With Baktrax, our off-the-beaten-path Laos tours are about diving into real local life—villages, markets, bus rides, and slow journeys that reveal the true heart of this amazing country. Ready to leave the tourist trail behind?
A Slower Pace, A Deeper Experience
Laos is the place to unwind and discover Southeast Asia as it used to be—before the crowds. Our tours focus on spending quality time in local towns and rural villages, where life moves to the rhythm of the river and every smile is genuine.
River Journeys & Rustic Roads
Traveling by boat or local bus isn’t just transport—it’s half the adventure! You’ll drift down the Mekong, hop off for a bowl of noodle soup, and see places few outsiders ever visit.
Local Markets & Friendly Faces
Baktrax Laos tours mean plenty of stops at vibrant local markets. Try fresh fruits you’ve never seen before, snack on sticky rice treats, and learn to barter (it’s all part of the fun). The people here are famously friendly, curious, and always ready with a wave.
Simple Comfort, Maximum Charm
Accommodations are clean, comfy, and locally run—so your money supports real families, not big hotels. And if you want to know more about Laos life, our tour coordinators have stories galore.
