Laotian lake escape near Vientiane
City slickers seeking respite from the urban landscape of the Laotian capital can embark on a short journey to the peace and quiet of the Sanctuary Nam Ngum Beach Resort.
Situated 120-km from Vientiane, this offers a perfect mix of a beach holiday hotel and a lakeside getaway. The stunning property is situated on the edge of the Nam Ngum Reservoir which stretches out over 370 sq-km. Abundant islets can be visited by kayak, followed by exploration of the authentic fishing village of Tha Heua to get an insight into life in rural Laos. This is where fishermen and artisans utilise old-age techniques. Another option is swimming in a floating pool.
Asian Trails’ new two-day package includes wellness treatments, trekking and authentic cuisine. Overnight is spent in bungalows that have a prime view of the mountain-framed lake.
