Description:
Join internationally renowned photographer Peter Langer for an audio-visual journey through Laos. Long isolated from the rest of the world, Laos is surprisingly diverse in terms of its people. We explore Luang Prabang, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, featuring streets of ochre colonial houses and ancient Buddhist temples, lines of saffron-robed monks gliding through the morning mist and boats sailing down the Mekong river.
Discover the Xieng Khuang Plateau, one of the most heavily bombed places in the world, and a testimony to the rugged perseverance of the Phuan, Black Tai, Hmong and Khmu peoples who inhabit the province. Much of the bombing was directed at the strategic Plain of Jars, which takes its name from the fields of ancient, giant funerary urns. We explore Vientiane, Laos' capital and head to the Bolaven Plateau, just east of Pakse, with its rich agricultural bounty beautiful waterfalls and nearbyWat Phou, the most impressive Khmer ruins outside Cambodia and UNESCO World Heritage Site.
