Pak Ou Caves

Pak Ou Caves are two sacred caves located on a cliff near the confluence of the Nam Ou River, about 25 kilometers up the Mekong River from the city of Luang Prabang in Laos. There are thousands of Buddha images in the caves. It is considered that people began placing Buddha images in the caves since Buddhism was introduced to the area. This tradition continues today. During the Laotian New Year in April, the caves are still used to sprinkle water on Buddha images (a ceremony to ward off bad luck) by local people.

The caves and its beautiful surrounding scenery, as well as the Mekong River, make it a must-visit destination for tourists, as they represent the basics of Lao culture, which is a combination (syncretism) of nature worship and Buddhism.
