A Peaceful Spring Climb in Luang Prabang

#springitinerary Mount Phousi is a gentle yet rewarding hike right in the heart of Luang Prabang. In spring, the weather is comfortably warm, the skies are mostly clear, and the views from the summit are especially stunning. Climbing the 300+ steps to the top, you'll pass golden Buddha statues and quiet resting spots shaded by trees. At the summit sits Wat Chom Si, a golden stupa that glows in the spring sunlight. From here, you get breathtaking panoramic views of the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers, the town's temples, and distant mountains. It's a perfect place to watch the sunrise or sunset, though mornings tend to be quieter and more peaceful. There’s a small entrance fee, so bring a bit of cash, plus water and your camera. Whether you're spiritual, adventurous, or just love a good view, Mount Phousi is a must-see in Luang Prabang during spring.
