Overnight at the Hill Tribe Khmu - Hill tribe trekking through northern LaosDuring this short, genuine 2-day hill tribe trek through northern Laos you'll get to know the mountainous area north of Luang Prabang as well as the Laos hill tribes. During the first day you'll spend about 6 hours walking through the impressive mountainous landscape, while you pass through green paddy-fields. You'll spend the night, as the mountain Laos hill tribe's people do, in a simple house in a mountain village surrounded by dense jungle. We believe this is the best way to experience how these people live. You'll also visit an elephant lodge where you can feed these grey giants. You don't have to have a very high level of physical fitness to participate in this hill tribe trek, as long as you have the will power and enthusiasm you'll be fine. You'll travel in a small group consisting of adventurous and curious travellers, just like you. |

Day 1: Hike through paddy-fieldsThis morning you'll be picked up from your Luang Prabang hotel by a pick-up truck and you will pass by green mountainous landscape as you travel. Today you'll go on a 6 to 7-hour hill tribe trek through northern Laos and will hike past green paddy-fields and will see impressive limestone mountainous landscape. Along the way you'll pass mountain villages, where mountain hill tribes such as the Khmu and Hmong live. Your guide will tell you all about the flora and fauna you'll encounter along the way. You'll spend the night in a traditional cabin in a Khmu village, where you'll enjoy a tasty dinner with the Laos hill tribes. You'll probably head off to bed early, tired and satisfied by the day's trek and you'll wake up refreshed in the morning. |

Day 2: Hiking, Laos hill tribes and a boat rideAt sunrise you'll be awakened by the crowing of a rooster. After breakfast you'll follow a path by the river to another Khmu settlement. This is a great place to recoup and to go on a walk through the village. You'll pass by a small school where children of the village are educated. Later on you'll continue on your 4-hour journey through the paddy-fields and tropical vegetation on the way to Nam Khan River. Here you'll climb on board a boat for a nice ride. The ride ends at a cosy little restaurant, where you can have a refreshing drink.At the end of the afternoon a transfer will take you back to your Luang Prabang hotel in the civilised world. |
What to bring along- sheet and possibly a sleeping bag (this can also be rented on the spot)- day pack (back pack), flash light and water canteen - shorts and trousers, short-sleeved and long-sleeved shirt and raincoat or poncho - cap for the sun, sunscreen and insect repellent - comfortable shoes or thongs On your arrival back in Luang Prabang you would probably want to hop under a warm shower after your jungle adventure. That's why we suggest adding an extra night stay in Luang Prabang to your itinerary. The following day you can fly back to Bangkok or travel through Vientiane and on to Pakse in Southern Laos. This is where the Waterfalls in Boloven land and the Islands in the Mekong modules begin. |
