The “Festival of Lights” package is designed to provide an immersive and seamless journey into the heart of this ancient Laotian tradition. The festival, which marks the end of Buddhist Lent, sees the town decorated with vibrant lanterns as locals launch hundreds of intricately crafted, illuminated boats onto the Mekong River, creating a mesmerizing “river of fire” that pays homage to the spirit of the water and sends away misfortune.
The Rosewood experience allows guests to connect with the soul of Luang Prabang. Guests can set the tone for a getaway filled with discovery by joining a guided temple tour offering a window into the city's spiritual heart, providing a rare glimpse of monks and locals meticulously preparing their boats and lanterns for the evening's main procession on the evening of October 27. As daylight fades on the festival day itself, guests have the opportunity to witness the Boun Lai Heua Fai decorative boat parade at the iconic Vat Xiengthong, a spirited and treasured tradition where local organizations and villagers present their illuminated creations.
