Day 2: - Explore the Plain of Jars.
Today you will explore the 3 clusters of mysterious stone jars which make up the intriguing Plain of Jars. Despite being named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2019, very few visitors travel to this mysterious megalithic site - so once you make it, you're treated to arguably one of Southeast Asia's quietest UNESCO sites.Nobody knows how long the jars have actually been here or what they were used for; some speculate they are funeral urns dating back some 2,000 years. Another theory says that they were probably made to contain and transport "Lao Lao", a glutinous wet rice which is boiled with yeast and left to ferment in large jars. It is believed that they were prepared for a huge celebration, which, for some reason was disrupted whilst the jars were being transported, as other jars in smaller quantities can be found on two other sites close by. Despite being one of the most strategic battlegrounds of the Indochina War, most jars were unharmed and remain a complete mystery even today.Spend time discovering the plain of undulating green fields where the 300 giant stones jars are scattered, from the Site 2 to 3, and the Site 1 at last. You will also have opportunities to visit a small monastery in Ban Xieng Di, pass areas that were important battlefields during the American war, and observe Xieng Khouang's local village life at Ban Napia - nicknamed the "War Spoon Village". Later in the afternoon, drive back to your hotel in Phonsavan, where the rest of the afternoon at leisure.Meals: Breakfast.Accommodation: Hotel in Phonsavan.

On arrival, enjoy a lunch prepared by the village. Later, receive a briefing by park staff about the efforts to protect tigers and their prey. In the middle of the afternoon, travel a further upstream for the night safari. Your guide will explain how local people track deer and other wild species. The boats will continue upriver to the dinner site, a sandy, flat bank, where a dinner will be prepared for you around a campfire. After dark you will board your boat and float down river with the engines off. There is only one light per boat which is used deftly by the guide to avoid scaring any wildlife. If you are fortunate you may spot Sambar deer, otters, barking deer, various species of civets, Slow Loris, porcupine and owls (hogbadgers, Asian golden cat and wild dogs have also been seen).Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.Accommodation: A Simple Lao-Style Hut in Nam Et National Park.
