Mount Phousi
Central Luang Prabang, Laos
The climb up Mount Phousi gives a clear view of Luang Prabang’s setting between rivers and surrounding hills. Steps lead past shrines towards the hilltop stupa, with different paths offering changing perspectives on the town below. The summit is popular around sunset, so choose another time if you prefer more space. Take the climb at your own pace and remember that the temples and shrines are places of worship as well as scenic stops.
