A pandemic year through my eyes, Laos
Here we are, almost one year after the lockdown started in Laos. I still remember how we had to “evacuate”

Welcome to Laos!
Khiri Travel Laos is specialized in crafting personalized experiences for travelers who want learn and engage with the local culture. Being blessed with a stunning natural biodiversity – more than 70 percent of which is forest cover – charming heritage towns and a very relaxed mentality, Laos is the perfect place to shift down a gear and enjoy life at a slower pace. Also known as the ‘Land of a Million Elephants’, Laos is a melting pot of different ethnic minorities, many of which have been settled in the region for centuries – making this mountainous country a perfect destination for explorers and adventure seekers
We take pride in accommodating our clients’ special interests into each trip we plan and ensuring that our local guides are building bridges with local communities to create authentic encounters for all our clients. Having a small but highly experienced team, we make sure that all clients feel at home and perfectly taken care of while traveling with us. Having offices in three different locations, we are always there for our clients and ready to provide advice with our in-depth local knowledge. In addition, we are dedicated to supporting local communities and organisations that strive to develop the living standards of their people. These efforts range from environmental conservation to social initiatives, and encouraging small businesses – all of which have been recognized by Travelife, an organisation that sets international standards in sustainable tourism.
At Khiri Travel Laos we strive to involve local people and their communities wherever possible, building bridges between local cultures and our clients. Through our tourism initiatives with NGOs and responsible stakeholders, we spread the tourism dollar, helping families and young people in rural areas to set up sustainable tourism programs that have a positive impact on their lives.
This approach supports not only communities and small businesses with a sustainable income; it gives our clients a unique insight into the everyday lives of these people. In short, everyone – whether they are working with us, or traveling with us – is able to share in our passion for discovery! Quality, sustainable and innovative tourism often starts with a fresh approach to hospitality and travel, and therefore education and training are also key factors in Khiri Travel Laos’ responsible tourism planning. In many of our projects, hospitality training is often a functional part of the experience, which we try to share with as many of our clients as we can. As a result of this approach, our suppliers and stakeholders feel a sense of pride in their product and this is reflected in the positive experience of our clients, which in the end is our ultimate goal!
