Vat Phou: Cruising The Mekong to The Legendary 4,000 Islands The mystical Vat Phou temple is nestled on the lower slope of the Phou Pasak range, a few kilometers from the town of Champassak. This important Khmer monument which dates back from the tenth and thirteenth century is a magnificent site. It consists of a series of terraces arranged at the foot of a mountain which rises up like a pyramid and is lined with fragrant Plumeria, the national tree of Laos. The temple is still in remarkable condition and is widely regarded as one of the most outstanding examples of Khmer architecture still in existence. The view from the sanctuary on the top across the Mekong plain, ringed by mountains is a truly breathtaking experience. The Rivercruiser Vat Phou
