Land of a Million Elephants - 18 days

$8950 pp twin/double | solo traveler please add $2100. 

This 18 day journey follows the Mekong River from northern Thailand into Laos then further south into the rarely visited northern reaches of Cambodia. 

Our Land of a Million Elephants holiday begins in northern Thailand joining our private cruise for a two day journey on the Mekong River to the ancient capital of Luang Prabang. We continue by rail to Vang Vieng set amongst spectacular limestone cast mountains. Further south is Vientiane the capital city of Laos and gateway to the southern reaches of the Mekong River. 

The discoveries are rich including the ruins of Wat Phou (once the most northern outpost of the Khmer empire) and the awe inspiring Khone falls set amongst four thousand islands where the Mekong descends into a series of spectacular cataracts. Here we have reached the border with Cambodia and continue to the rarely visited Preah Vihear temple, arguably the most spectacular temple of the Khmer period. Further along the Khmer way, as it was once known, we find the pyramid shaped temple of Koh Ker, unique in its design and lost for years as the Khmer Rouge made it their base during the years of war. 

Our journey concludes in Siem Reap and of course we will pay a visit to Angkor Wat - greatness never diminishes.
