Best Time to Visit
The dry and cool months of November to January are generally the best period to travel in Laos. Daytime temperatures are agreeable, though early mornings and late nights can be a little chilly. I visited in the middle of November for a week and encountered only one sudden downpour in Luang Prabang. This is the best time for a guided hike – some areas may still contain unexploded bombies, more about this in another post – in the forest of northern Laos.
Expect heavy rainfall from June to October. Travelling during the peak rainy season can be hazardous or even impossible with road closures and floods (such as the Sep 2024 deluge). Even if you were to get to your destination, certain attractions may be closed – for instance, the wet cave of Vang Vieng. In exchange for the wetness, you’d get roaring waterfalls and full rivers.
The period between March and May coincided with the country’s slash-and-burn season. You’d have acrid smog everywhere that paints the sky a dusty orange, and fill your clothes and hair with particles and a lingering burnt smell. A friend of mine visited in April 2023 and had to wear a mask throughout her trip.
