The mystical Vat Phou temple
is nestled on the lower slope of the Phou Pasak range, a few
kilometers from the town of Champassak. This important Khmer
monument which dates back to the 10th and 13th century is a
magnificent site.
It consists of a series of
terraces arranged at the foot of a mountain which rises up
like a pyramid and is lined with fragrant plumeria, the
national tree of Laos. The temple is still in remarkable
condition and is widely regarded as one of the most
outstanding examples of Khmer architecture still in existence,
the view from the sanctuary on the top across the Mekong
plain, ringed by mountains is a truly breathtaking experience.
This tour will take you to
travel from Parkse to the "Niagara of
the East" and the discovery of one the wonders of the
world, the treasure of Khmer architecture.
