Rise early to witness and join Luang Prabang locals as they make offerings of food in the alms bowls of saffron-clad monks. This silent and sacred tradition of ‘Tak Bat’ takes place every morning and is a chance to experience the serenity and symbolism of Laos’ religious and cultural heritage. Watch as the monks form a procession through the town, with locals sitting or kneeling to offer rice and vegetables in the hope of gaining merit for their next life. Perhaps place your own offering in the bowls to take part in this deeply moving and memorable ceremony.
