Morning Almsgiving and Market Experience in Luang Prabang

Rise early to observe the solemn morning ritual of monks walking through the streets of Luang Prabang at sunrise to collect alms. "Tak bat" or almsgiving is a must-see experience for travelers to Luang Prabang, home to nearly 80 Buddhist temples. After the opportunity to make your own rice offering to saffron-robed monks, head to a morning market for another glimpse of local life.
