Sitting on the banks of the Mekong, the Sanctuary Pakbeng Lodge is midway between the World Heritage Town of Luang Prabang, and Huay Xai, the main border crossing between northern Thailand and northern Laos. Both towns are reachable by a heavenly 1-day cruise experience, or a half day drive through the hilltops and along ethnic villages indigenous to this region of Laos.
The Lodge is an ideal starting point for hilltribe trekking to discover Khamu villages off the main tourist trail. It also faces the Mekong Elephant Park, a sanctuary dedicated to the protection of elephants which offers a wonderful and respectful opportunity to discover the life of an animal important in Lao culture.
The Sanctuary Pakbeng Lodge suggests that you stay a few days in this protected area off the beaten track. You will enjoy the comfortable atmosphere, the picturesque sunrise and sunset over the Mekong, and the comings and goings of the different boats that dock near the Lodge’s beach. Your visit will be one of relaxation but also of authentic encounters and an immersion into traditional Lao life.
