The small group tour to Laos and Cambodia begins on January 3, 2013. We spend 8 days in both countries starting in Luang Prabang, the ancient capital of Laos. We then travel to Phonsavan were the main attractions are the Plains of Jars. Then on to the modern capital of Laos. Vientiane. Next stop is Siem Reap in Cambodia which is the main town near the Angkor Archeological Park. Many amazing sites will be visited during the five days here. The teachers in the group will love the day spent with the archaeologists from Sydney University who manage the Greater Angkor project. Last but not least we fly into Phnom Penh the capital of Cambodia, once known as the Pearl of the Orient. The group returns on 19th January 2013.
