Laos Travel Overview

Known as the “country of a million elephants”, Laos is a little populous land which finally enjoys peace after almost 300 years of war. The Lao People’s Democratic Republic is situated in the center of Indochina, sharing the border with China in the north, with Myanmar in the Northeastern, with Thailand in the West, with Cambodia in the South and with Vietnam in the East.

A 70% of the territory of Laos is mountainous. The north of Laos and the part near to Vietnam have various rustic mountains.
