October to April is the dry season in Laos, South East Asia, and usually considered the best time to visit. Temperatures usually hit highs of about 32 °C (90 °F)across the dry season in Vientiane, the country’s sleepy capital, though can spikes up to 35°C ( 95 °F)in April, the hottest month. The hillier north is usually a couple of degrees cooler, so December and January can be a bit chilly in the hills and mountains.November through January is the best time for river travel when the water is at its highest and travelling fast, a great time to take in the might Mekong and the superb flora and fauna along its banks. April brings Songkran (Laos New Year), a week-long national party celebrating the end of the dry season and start of the monsoon. Much of the country becomes a giant water fight, and you are likely to get drenched by everyone from children to grandmothers, whether you like it or not.

Here is a small selection of the kind words our clients have said about us recently.
Also unforgettable was our experience driving through Beijing in an old fashioned motorcycle side car followed by lunch with a local family in their traditional hutong house.
It was individual and authentic. And I was treated like a family friend, not a paying guest.
