The easiest way to decide when to travel<\/strong><\/em> to Laos is knowing its climate. This Asian country, like most\ncountries on the continent, has two seasons: dry and wet. Undoubtedly, the\nformer is the best time to visit the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best time to travel to Laos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Broadly speaking, Laos has two clear seasons: the first,\nthe dry season, runs from November to mid-May. During these months the\ntemperatures oscillate between 15\u00baC and 30\u00baC. The second, the rainy season,\nbeginning at the end of May and extending until October, are months of heat,\nhumidity and heavy rainfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The climate of Laos is tropical monsoon, and within it are\nthe two main seasons; for months we can make other distinctions. March and\nApril are the driest and hottest months, while November and February are also\ndry, but cooler months. The rains, therefore, \nare concentrated between May and October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travellers agree that the best time to visit Laos is during\nthe months of November to February. The climate is cooler than in April and\nMay, and there is no rain. The only drawback is that this is the time when most\ntourists visit the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to avoid the tourist high season, and not be\nafraid of the heat, you can choose March and April to visit Laos. Of course,\ntake note that, in the south, in the Mekong valley, you will have temperatures of\nabout 40\u00baC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you really want to travel without being surrounded\nby tourists, choose the rainy season; you will find great offers for\naccommodation and airline tickets, and temperatures between 25\u00baC and 30\u00baC. Keep\nin mind that in the north it will rain much more than in the southern regions.\nAnother drawback is that you can find roads cut off by the rains, in addition\nto there being more mosquitoes and leeches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, within Laos, each region has its own\ncharacteristics, which makes a particular time suitable for one area but not\nfor another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to travel to Luang Prabang<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you haven’t decided when to travel to Laos to visit this\ncity which has been declared a World Heritage Site, located between the Mekong\nand the Nam Khan, it is best to choose the dry season, preferably between\nNovember and February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The south of the country has a climate which is too hot for\nyou to visit between March and April, and if you go during the rainy season you\nwill not be able to enjoy your trip quite so much. You will need a good amount\nof time to walk through the 33 Buddhist temples which this wonderful city plays\nhost to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to travel to the north of Laos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you want to discover the north of Laos while hiking,\nthere are two destinations which you cannot miss: Nam Ha and Luang Namtha.\nThese towns have specialised in ecological tourism, and offer you a tour of the\nbest parts of the north of the country, including a route through the towns of\nthe different ethnic groups which inhabit them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The north must be visited during the dry season since,\nduring the monsoons, the rains are very abundant. In this case, the best months\nto enjoy hiking in this region are March and April. The rest of the dry season\nis also recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to travel to Vang Vieng<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This area of Laos has become a perfect place to enjoy\nnature and outdoor sports. Located halfway between Vient\u00e1n and Luang Prabang,\nsurrounded by the Nam Song River, it is the meeting place for lovers of\ntrekking, climbing and tubing, as well as kayak trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, there is no doubt that, to be able to peacefully\npractice all these sports, it is best to avoid the rainy season. Once again,\nthe dry season is the best time to travel to this tourist city of Laos. If it\ncan be between November and February, all the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to travel to Laos to navigate the Mekong<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you want to make the route from Luang Prabang to Huay\nXai, which is the most popular, you should plan your trip during the dry\nseason. In the rainy season, the flooding of the waters can hinder navigation,\ncontrary to what you may think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between November and February, also including March and\nApril for those who are not afraid of high temperatures, would be the best time\nto sail the Mekong. You will have a dry and temperate climate which will allow\nyou to enjoy the trajectory of this famous river to the fullest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the rest of Laos jewels like Vientiane, Tham Kong Lo,\nor the Bolaven plateau, between November and February are the best months to\nmake your trip. Don’t forget to plan the dates well according to the area you\nwant to visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
