Cultural Temple Tour & Guided Meditation Experience by Orange Robe Tours

Cultural Temple Tour & Guided Meditation Experience by Orange Robe Tours

This a combined program of both Orange Robe Tours' Cultural Temple Tour and our Guided Meditation Experience.

Cultural Temple tour: A guided tour of a local temple, focusing on Buddhist culture, architecture, temple etiquette and the daily life of Novices and Monks.

Guided Meditation Experience: Held inside a local temple, this experience gives you the opportunity to learn and practise the same meditation techniques taught inside the temple and will give you a better understanding of the importance of meditation in Buddhism.

Orange Robe Tours is a profit-for-purpose social enterprise, based in Luang Prabang, Laos. We employ former Novices and Monks who have recently left the temple to give culturally appropriate tours to tourists, providing much-needed support during their transition from temple life to layperson life, while preserving the traditional culture and customs of Laos. A portion of all profits is donated to the surrounding temples included in the cultural tours.
