Eco-tourism in Laos

I'd like to introduce eco-tour in Laos.
Laos, officially the Lao People's Democratic Repubic, is a landlocked country in southeast Asia, bordered by Burma, and China to the northwest, Vietnam to the east, Cambodia to the south, an Thailand to the west. Laos traces its history to the Kingdom of Lan Xang or Land of Million Elephants, which existed from the 14th to 18th century.
Laos is known as one of the best designed Protected Area Systems in the world.
The thickly forested landscape consists mostly of rugged mountains. The climate is tropical and monsoonal. There is a distinct rainy season from May to November, followed by a dry season from December to April.In 1993, the government set aside 21% of the nation's land area as National Biodiversity Conservation Areas (NBCA), which may be developed into a national park system. You can find affluent natural environment in Laos and you also can enjoy eco-tour here.
If you'd like to find more about eco-tourism, please refer to Hebe's blog.
