Travel slower. Connect deeper. Feel the real Laos.
The best time to visit Laos is from November to February, when the weather is cool and dry, making it perfect for exploring outdoors. From March to May, temperatures rise, making it hotter, though it is still manageable for sightseeing. If you don’t mind the heat, this is a good time to visit before the rainy season begins.
The rainy season from June to October brings lush green scenery, but heavy rainfall can make travel more challenging, particularly for those visiting rural areas. However, if you enjoy vibrant landscapes and smaller crowds, this season still has its charm.
