Just 25 kilometers upstream from Luang Prabang, nestled in a limestone cliff at the meeting point of the Mekong and Nam Ou Rivers, lies one of Laos’ most spiritual and photogenic destinations — the Pak Ou Caves. With their ancient atmosphere, boat journey, and thousands of Buddha images, the caves offer a unique blend of nature, culture, and tranquility.
