Day 01 Naaluang Trek - Nong Khiaw Jungle Trek (L/D)

After a short ride, we start walking small paths past rice paddies and through preserved forest with huge trees and great views and sneaking between high-rising mountains. Colorful rice fields (seasonal) and gardens guide our way through this amazing scenery. We enjoy lunch in the jungle setting and make stops along the way.

Trekking is 5-6 hours medium to difficult depending on conditions. The first day of this tour will lead us to a perfectly preserved Lao-style village, still living traditionally. You will see traditional houses, farmland, and jungle covered hills. Your guide will give you an introduction to the local traditions, the Lao lowland style of weaving and other activities. A walk around the village can tell you many stories and shows you the difference between the ethnic groups. Explore the village with your guide and you might have a chance to see kids in session at the Tiger Trail built Clay School operational since 2011.

We then prepare ourselves for an overnight stay in this remote village and enjoy the local “cuisine”. Take your time to explore the place by yourself in the evening or just play with the children.

Day 02 Jungle Trek, Waterfall, and Nam Ou Cruise (B/L)

Enjoy breakfast before departing the village by local trail to the Nam Ou River on one of the most spectacular routes in the area taking you through a canyon pass with mountains rising on both sides. Enjoy the picturesque and refreshing Tadmok waterfall and visit a Khmu village nestled on the banks of the Nam Ou River and see its gardens. Along the way we serve another Lao style lunch before we return to Nong Khiaw by boat. Enjoy the sceneries!!
