| The lack of foreign influence in Laos offers visitors an unparalleled
glimpse of traditional Southeast Asian life. Rivers and mountains
dominate the country's topography, and the hilly nature of the
country makes it perfect trekking territory. From the fertile
lowlands of the Mekong River valley to the rugged Annamite highlands,
those who have made it to Laos tend to agree that this country
is the highlight of Southeast Asia. |
