Nam Ming & Nam Khan Discovery

(1 or 2 days kayaking/rafting, all seasons)
 

On this trip you get the chance to paddle down two very scenic rivers of southern Luang Prabang Province: the narrow and over-grown Nam Ming which flows into the much wider winding Nam Khan.Kaykaing in Nam Ming and Nam Khan

When staying the night in a village, we will be able to get a glimpse into the lives of people in rural Laos.

Option 1: 1 day trip
Itinerary: Luang Prabang - Nam Ming - Don Mo - Luang Prabang

We depart from Green Discovery Office in Luang Prabang for a transfer to our kayaking starting point at the village of Ban Nam Ming, about 2 hours drive south of Luang Prabang. The Nam Ming River makes its way through a steep sided forested valley. Its riverbanks are covered with dense forest, often consisting of old trees - the ideal habitat for a wide variety of birds. There are some fun rapids before the Nam Ming feeds into the Nam Khan.

In the afternoon, we get to a beautiful spot with cold springs, perfect for bathing and relaxing. We then spend more time for paddling, passing villages set in a landscape featuring rugged limestone mountains. The trip ends when we reach Ban Done Mo, where a pick-up awaits us for transfer to Luang Prabang.

Approximately: 2½ hours transfer/ 6 hours kayaking
