Luang Prabang Province

Luang Prabang Province spans across 16,875 square kilometers of land, featuring dense forests, winding rivers, and mountains reaching towards the Vietnam border.

The province evolved from being the center of the Lan Xang Kingdom during the 13th century to maintaining its status as a royal capital until 1975.

Buddhist temples dot the landscape throughout the twelve districts, where monks perform daily alms ceremonies and maintain centuries-old religious practices.

The province connects to neighboring regions through National Route 13, while the Luang Prabang International Airport provides direct flights to multiple Asian destinations.

The Phou Louey Massif within the province contains a national biodiversity conservation area that protects numerous rare bird species and diverse flora.
