Orange Robe Tours: Meditation and Culture in Luang Prabang

Orange Robe Tours operates from a meeting point outside the serene Wat Xieng Mouane in Luang Prabang. While technically a tour operator and not a destination in itself, it provides an opportunity to delve into Lao culture through guided meditation and cultural immersion. Wat Xieng Mouane, a peaceful temple complex, is located near the Royal Palace. The temple showcases golden architecture, and the complex houses a school for monks where they learn to preserve the city's temples. One of the buildings features a stunning ceiling adorned with golden Naga drawings.Visitors interested in learning about Buddhism and Lao culture may find value in the experiences offered by Orange Robe Tours. However, it's important to remember that monasteries are living religious communities and should be respected. Dress modestly when visiting temples – shoulders and knees should be covered.
