Travel from spiritual Laos to magical Cambodia on this 12-day adventure tour
Why choose between Laos and Cambodia when you can travel to both? The Laos to Cambodia Adventure Tour offers a glimpse into these amazing countries. Expect to be wowed by ancient archaeological sites and natural wonders alike as you explore towns, cities, and wilderness. Spend 12 memorable days immersed in Lao and Khmer cultures, with excursions like hiking deep into the jungle, kayaking a calm river, and exploring UNESCO World Heritage Sites included.
While you’re not exploring the fascinating cultures through workshops, day trips, and city walks, you’ll be sampling the cuisine, which is a massive part of the Laos to Cambodia Adventure Tour. Find your way through to the best street stalls with your local guide, who will also lead you on amazing day trips led by the guide’s local knowledge. Rest assured, the Laos to Cambodia Adventure Tour will excite you, take you to places you’ve never seen before and leave you with unforgettable memories.
Welcome to Laos! Make your way through the airport and find your own way to your comfortable hotel in Luang Prabang. Settle in, then head to the lobby to meet everyone for a welcome dinner. Your guide will give you some information about the adventure ahead, then it’s time to head to bed.
Once back in Luang Prabang, you’ll visit the ornate and gorgeous complex of temples at Vat Xieng Thong, known as the temple of the Royal City. After exploring the complex at your leisure, return to the hotel to relax for the night.
Continue downriver past some incredible rock and limestone formations, then pass by the Pak Ou Caves that house thousands of Buddha statues at the entrance. After about 3 hours of paddling, you’ll dock on sandy shores and get a ride back to the hotel.
Descend the trail (faster than ascending, for sure) and check in to the hotel. Enjoy some free time to explore, grab dinner, or just read a book before heading to bed.
Continue walking among rice paddies and rich vegetation to Ban Na Village to have lunch in a local restaurant. Return the way you came on foot, then enjoy another relaxing boat ride downriver to Nong Khiaw for the night.
Unwind at your hotel in Luang Prabang this evening, enjoying a mouthwatering dinner of local specialties.
Once you land, you’ll be greeted by a local guide and taken to the hotel for a free evening to freshen up and explore on your own.
Head back to the hotel to rest your legs and scroll through the hundreds of pictures you took of today’s excursion.
Return to Siem Reap and digest well, because this afternoon involves a feast of street food sampling. This gastronomic tour will delight your taste buds with rich blends of Khmer spices and flavours. Finish the tour with an authentic dessert, then go back to the hotel satisfied and ready for bed.
Rise for an early departure to Phnom Kulen National Park for a delightful jaunt through this divine sanctuary. A local ranger will lead you through the deep forest with majestic plateaus, and you’ll even encounter some hidden temples. Enjoy a picnic lunch next to a beautiful river and jump in for a swim to cool off. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife in the afternoon as over 40 species roam the area. For another refreshing dip and several photo opportunities, break at Phnom Kulen Falls before heading to Siem Reap for the night.
Note: Two distance options are available for today’s hike. The route chosen will depend on your group.
Option 2: 10 km, 3 hours (excluding site visits), 250 m of ascent, 215 m of descent
After your morning meal, the fantastic floating villages of Tonle Sap await. Get a ride to the pier, then hop on a boat headed for Prek Toal. Along the way, observe the lively floating villages where everything sits above the water, from markets to schools.
Docking at one of the piers, head into a traditional stilt house where some locals will prepare an authentic meal for your group. After this delicious meal, participate in a workshop to learn how to weave using the native water hyacinth plant. Pocket your new souvenir and begin the journey back to Siem Reap for your last night.
Note: no operation from mid-April to the end of June due to low water level.
Bid farewell to your Laos and Cambodia adventure crew over your last breakfast together. Check out at noon, and then organize your own transportation to the airport or the next part of your trip.

I’ve been using 10A route guides for a while, but had never booked a tour. My wife and I booked a self-guided hike in Greece and were so impressed with how we were able navigate the route without a guide with the detailed and easy to follow itinerary. We enjoy travelling independently, and 10A made that happen.

I was going through a tough time and really needed a getaway so I decided to book a tour through 10Adventures. My trip to Peru changed my life in so many positive and eye-opening ways. I am so thankful for the kind, empathetic team at 10Adventures.
Lina K.
I’ve adventured around a lot of Canada and the US, but I’ve always wanted to explore other parts of the world. I felt a bit scared before booking my trip to Israel, but my conversations with the team at 10Adventures helped ease any worry. I can’t wait to explore more of the world!
Gabriela H.
Travel companies have had to go through a lot during the pandemic but 10Adventures were super flexible and accommodating nonetheless. I had to cancel my tour in France due to the pandemic. 10Adventures was great and let me reschedule for a later date!

My wife Sarah and I had a great experience booking our 7-day cycling trip through Portugal via 10Adventures. The communication between us and Nadine leading up the trip was top-notch!

Communicating with 10Adventures feels like talking with a family-run business. I love to explore and travel, and exploring with the comfort of knowing I can talk to the team at 10Adventures with almost immediate feedback helps to ease any stress that comes with adventuring!

Whenever I’m looking for my next adventure 10Adventures never fails. Their routes all over England are my main go to for exploring and I have only had great experiences booking both guided and self-guided trips in Europe and South America with them. I am looking into Africa next.

I tend to have a lot of questions before travelling and was so happy to find that the team at 10Adventures responded to every single one of my inquiries in a timely fashion. I was never left waiting and waiting for a response. This was much appreciated!

I have horrible dietary issues making it super hard to book a pre-planned trip sometimes, but the communication through 10Adventures helped me navigate this situation! I am so grateful for all of their help. I cant wait to book with them again!
Erika S.
I just got back from backpacking in the Sierra Nevada, and WOW. What an unreal journey! The alpine meadows, waterfalls, and the lakeside camping spot were memorable highlights! I wonder what other tours 10Adventures has to offer. That one went so well that I am now convinced I need to book another!
Robert D.
I'm not a big fan of traveling because of my fear of flying, but my girlfriend convinced me to go on the Aurora Borealis Tour in the Yukon. I will never forget the mesmerizing northern lights. Such a romantic (and cold) getaway. I would highly recommend it.
Monica L.
Wow! I am so happy with the experience I had with booking through 10Adventures for my tour in Italy! I worked with Nadine and she was super easy-going and helpful when it came to tweaking the itinerary provided on the website. 10/10 would book through 10Adventures again.
