The Pak Ou Buddha Caves, situated along the Mekong River, are renowned for their thousands of Buddha statues, each bearing unique imperfections. Accessible via a white-washed staircase, visitors explore both upper and lower caves filled with these diverse effigies. Originally visited annually during the Laotian New Year, the caves now attract tourists year-round. Boat tours often include a stop at the nearby Lao Lao "whiskey village" for a taste of local brews before returning to Luang Prabang. This journey offers a glimpse into both ancient and modern facets of life, all set against the backdrop of the revered Mekong River.
