Indochina Heritage Road Package Tour
Tour Overview:
You will discover the UNESCO
Heritage Road in Indochina with GAT
travel. Here you can not only visit the
natural beautiful landscapes but also the
heritage sites. Let’s start the trip with
topic of heritage tour from the North to
the Centre of Vietnam. You will see the
whole spirit of friendly Vietnam. Then
you visit Siem Reap – the sacred land of
ancient temples to visit Bayon Temple,
the Royal Enclosure, Phimeanakas, the
Elephants Terrace and the Terrace of the
Leper King, Ta Prohm. The next destination is Phnom Penh functioning as Capital city of
Kingdom of Cambodia with Silver Pagoda, Royal Palace, Victory Monument, Tuol Sleng
Prison. The last interesting destination is Luang Prabang – The Former capital of Laos.
Although UNESCO's designation of Luang Prabang as a World Heritage Site in 1995
raised the town's international profile and contributed to a mass influx of tourists, the
designation also means that the town's growth will be managed and will hopefully retain
its charm for years to come. This trip will leave you an unforgettable experience in
Indochina.
