At Tiger Trail Travel we love the green season, May to October time when short rains come down and bring the jungles into life, a great time to see rice cultivation. The markets are filled with an array of delicious fruits and vegetables.

Cooler seasons offer opportunities to snuggle around open fires and warm up over a lao lao or two. After the ends of the rain, waterfalls and natural pools are abundant with beautiful turquoise waters.

April the hottest months offers the fantastic New Year Festival Phi Mai, where you will cool down with days of water fights in the streets of Laos. Make sure to book accommodation in advance for this time.
