Why Amantaka is so special...

keyboard_arrow_left

Culture & History

Overlooking Laos' former royal capital, Amantaka is a gateway to intriguing cultures, ancient establishments and timeless landscapes. Join guided walking and cycling tours of Luang Prabang and discover heaps of colonial architecture, thirty golden-tipped temples and the Pra Bang Buddha statue, the city's namesake. Return after dinner for the night market, then rise early the next day and offer alms to streams of saffron-robed monks, meet Ban Chok's chief and family in a traditional hamlet or charter Amantaka's riverboat and explore the Mekong's Pak Ou Cave, littered with statues of Buddha.

Romance

Amantaka offers spellbinding scenery, regal history and deep-rooted spirituality - a winning formula for romantic adventures. Stroll the city's age-old streets and enjoy private temple tours of works of genius, such as Wat Xieng Thong, visit the elephant sanctuary, then climb atop for a bird's-eye plod through lush jungles or visit another sanctuary looking after Asiatic black bears, with the chance to plunge into a magnificent tiered waterfall afterwards. How about floating along the Mekong River, especially wonderful at dusk, as the sun's last rays glow across the rainforest, cocktails and canapés included.

Buddhist Temples

Luang Prabang with its a vast collection of wats (Buddhist temples) offers a brilliant, yet authentic look into the country’s rich religious past, which is still very much alive today. Visit Wat Xieng Thong, the most historically significant and impressive of Luang Prabang's many wats. Spared from wars, fires and over zealous restorations, with its low sweeping roofs and gold stencil work within, the entire monastery complex is an architectural gem as elegant as it is historic. Perhaps a trip to Wat Mai Suwannaphumaham is on the cards. Wat Mai is one of the city’s most extravagant monasteries, boasting a wooden ordination hall with a five-tiered roof crafted in typical Luang Prabang style, along with the roofed verandahs demonstrating extraordinary features of golden murals depicting scenes of Buddha’s birth, Ramayana and village life.

Buddhist Temples
The Royal Palace and the Pha Bang Buddha

Pha Bang Buddha, the mystical national emblem of Laos and from whom the town of Luang Prabang takes its name, stands at 83 centimetres tall, completely covered in gold leaf, his hand raised in the Abhaya Mudra, representing the dispelling of fear. Having undergone a tumultuous history, the Buddha is now housed in a richly ornamented shrine in the Royal Palace Museum, except during the Laos New Year celebrations when it is placed on display in Wat Mai temple.

The Royal Palace and the Pha Bang Buddha
Plain of Jars

For the adventurous, take a trip to Plain of Jars, a bizarre archaeological collection of giant stone jars that lie scattered around the Xieng Khouang plain, dating back to the Iron Age. They are often referred to as a south east Asian version of Stonehenge. The discovery of human remains, burial goods and ceramics, found in association with the stone jars, have led Laos and Japanese archaeologists to conclude that the jars were funeral megaliths.

Plain of Jars
Pha That Luang

Take your adventure to Laos one step further with a trip to the magnificent golden Pha That Luang in Vientianne, where you will see the country’s most important religious building; a symbol of Buddhist religion and Laos sovereignty. Legend has it that Ashokan missionaries from India built the stupa to enclose Lord Buddha’s breastbone. The stupa stands at forty-five metres high and is best seen at sunset when it appears to ‘glow’ in the fading light.
