Luang Prabang Alms Giving, Mount Phousi Sunrise and Morning Market Tour - Hotel Pickup

Witness the dawn alms giving
and explore the morning market

Meet your guide at your hotel before sunrise for a 3-hour tour that takes in Luang Prabang's alms giving ceremony, a sunrise over Mount Phousi, the morning market and a Lao breakfast at a restaurant overlooking the Mekong. You travel by tuk-tuk in a small group of up to 10 people.

Hotel pickup and drop-off, offerings for the monks, 5+ Lao food tastings and drinking water are included.

Watch the procession
of more than 300 monks

On quiet streets echoing with temple bells, watch more than 300 monks and novices walk in a long line to receive sticky rice and food offerings in their bronze bowls. Your guide explains the cultural and spiritual meaning of this centuries-old ritual, which reflects the Buddhist values of humility, gratitude and compassion.

If you would like to take part, your guide will show you how to give offerings respectfully.

See the sunrise over Mount Phousi
and stroll the morning market

As the town wakes up, stop for photos at the Royal Palace Museum and watch the sun rise over Mount Phousi from one of Luang Prabang's best viewpoints.

Then walk through the morning market, where locals gather daily for fresh produce, herbs, spices and traditional food. Taste Lao dishes as your guide introduces local customs, ingredients and culinary traditions.

Enjoy a Lao breakfast
overlooking the Mekong

Finish with a traditional Lao breakfast at a local restaurant with panoramic views of the Mekong and surrounding mountains, watching morning life along the riverbank. After the tour, return to your hotel by tuk-tuk.
