Laos

Laos

The mention of this country might not conjure up tourism campaign-worthy mental images, but that's part of Laos' under-the-radar appeal. Charming locals, a genteel way of life, a storied past, and theatrical natural landscapes give the destination an "authentic Asia" vibe, which combined with a quaint UNESCO World Heritage town, means Laos can be considered an underrated winner in the regional tourism lottery.

For the majority of travelers, Laos is synonymous with Luang Prabang, the sleepy former capital that still bears undeniable traces of the region's French colonial history. Small enough to explore by bicycle, the city is a rare Asian destination that offers travelers a scenic look back in time.

Not far beyond the town boundary, the country fades back into a bucolic bliss of rural villages and tranquil country landscape and you really have to dial down the pace a notch or two. Whether trekking through the jungle or drifting down the Mekong River, there's no smoke and mirrors about Laos -- what you see is what you get: beautifully simple and simply beautiful.
