What Will You Do
We depart from Luang Namtha with a short drive to a small Khmu village where we meet our village guide. We will go uphill to enter the heart of the national park where the terrain flattens out. As we continue through the forest we will walk along a creek and cross a few small streams. We will be shaded by the dense forest canopy, keeping the temperature comfortable cool and the hike enjoyable.
As we hike our experienced local guide will point out interesting plants along the way and explain how these plants are used by local people.
We will enjoy a rustic picnic lunch with traditional Lao food, accompanied by the sounds of bird song and chirping cicadas. After lunch we continue through to open rice paddy fields with some great views. On the way back we can stop in some ethnic villages known for their handicrafts including cotton, silk, basket making, and paper made of bamboo pulp.
Approximately : 30 min transfer & 3-4 hours trekking
What to expect:
This is a somewhat challenging trek as it is mostly uphill and can get muddy and slippery, especially during the rainy season. Specially in dry season, the weather may be hot.

Help us to become 100% single use plastic free company!
We try to avoid plastic as much as possible, that is why we encourage you to bring your own refillable bottle.
We have water refillable station at our office where you can fill up your bottle. If you don’t have one we sell the 0,75 L Green Discovery aluminium bottles at our sales office. At the moment we will still need to use plastic bottles in some of our tours but we hope to reduce it as much as possible. Together with The Green Discovery Sustainability Fund we are working on installing water filters in all the villages we are visiting and we hope in the future we will not need to use plastic bottles anymore.
