Laos
Development studies, ethnic minorities,
human geography and rural exploration
Slow down on a school trip to laid-back Laos. Immerse your students in traditional lifestyles, reflect on new social and spiritual customs, and receive good luck for your journey with a Laos baci blessing ceremony.
​
Despite being surrounded by five mightier neighbours, land-locked Laos has respectfully resisted the outside world’s influence. Travel happens at a peaceful pace and opens up everyday interactions with the country’s gracious Buddhist people. Contemplate stillness at every turn – from tranquil rice paddies and lazing longboats, to orange-robed monks moving gently by.
Laos’ undeveloped infrastructure also makes it an ideal place to practise learning through community service. You’ll make a lasting impact as you work directly with villagers on a community-led project and see it become part of their lives.
DESIGN YOUR OWN UNIQUE CURRICULUM
Every trip we run is customised to your school’s curriculum, budget, student needs and educational goals. Here are just some of the exciting ways your students can learn in Laos:
Connect with Lao culture to learn the local way of life
​Taste the fresh flavours of Laotian cuisine in a hands-on cooking class. Stay overnight in a rural temple and learn Buddhist rituals from novice monks. Explore French colonial town Luang Prabang through a fast-paced scavenger hunt, then bargain for silks, scarves and handicrafts at its bustling night market.

AMPLIFY STUDENT-LED LEARNING
By letting your students co-design their Laos tour, you’ll give them ownership over their activities and agenda. You’ll also make sure your school trip meets their specific strengths, interests and knowledge gaps.
​

Ethical and awe-inspiring
elephant encounters
Experience the grandeur of forgotten templates of Asia
Cultural immersion through traditional homestays
Cruise the Mekong by slow boat from Laos to Thailand
