Only because it's one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Landlocked and mountainous, Laos's scenery is amazingly varied. It encompasses lush farmland, rustic river islands, thundering waterfalls, cloud forests, wide-open grassy plateaus, and magnificent karst scenery cut through with wide rivers. For outdoor adventuring, nowhere beats it.

While its bigger, bolder neighbours draw the crowds with their roster of famous sites, we get the sense that Laos is content to be overlooked – secure in the knowledge that it’s a little slice of chilled-out, tropical heaven.

It doesn’t have the jungle-strangled temples of Cambodia. It doesn’t have the fascinating history of China. It doesn’t have the world-class cuisine of Vietnam, or the white sandy beaches of Thailand. Surrounded by famous neighbours, it has slipped under the tourist’s radar for decades. So why on Earth should you bother with Laos?
