Day Hike: Thin Pha Trail

5.0(1 review)

Enjoy the beautiful natural landscapes, fresh air and village life on this one-day hiking trip. This tour takes you hiking through the foothills of beautiful limestone mountains covered with jungle to visit local Hmong and Khmu hill tribe villages. The tour includes a scenic ride on the Nam Khan River and, during the wet season, a visit to the refreshing Tad Sae waterfall where you can swim and explore. Funds from this tour help support the local community. Start with a morning transfer 25 minutes out of town to our Tiger Trail Adventure Camp. Cross the Nam Khan River by boat to the trail-head and begin our day hike through rice paddies and middle canopy. Our first stop will be a Khmu village named Ban Houay Fai, where the local children are likely to greet you with curiosity and smiles. Your guide will introduce you to the local life and customs. Continue along ridges, limestone grottos and rocky slopes for lunch at Ban Tinpha, a Hmong village from which this trail gets its name. Mountains and valleys offer many opportunities to experience a variety of flora and fauna. Stop, look, listen and ask your guide about the life teeming around you. Weave your way through paddies and countryside. Chat with villagers and ask questions about life in Laos. End in the riverside village, Ban Houay Yen. Our boat will be waiting to take you down a beautiful stretch of the Nam Khan with a stop at the Tad Sae Waterfall. Relax and soak in Tad Sae Falls after a day of trekking before returning by boat and vehicle to Luang Prabang. The total trek is about 12 km, taking 4-5 hours through deciduous forest and farmland. Please note: During the low water season (February to July), the Tad Sae Waterfall can be very low or dry and may be omitted.

Day Hike: Longhut Trail

5.0(1 review)

Challenge yourself and experience a different world off-the-beaten-path, high in the mountains and surrounded by jungle on this full day hike. Begin with a morning drive to Ban Xieng Lom, a rural Nam Khan riverside village located at the base of a huge mountain. We'll cross the Nam Khan on a small boat to begin the hike and then head through the jungle up to a mid-mountain Lao Theung village (Khmu). Taking care not to disrupt the serenity of this isolated area, we can observe locals as they engage in daily tasks. You'll have the chance to ask questions and wander around in the small village. Your guide will be happy to translate your questions. Waving our goodbyes, we enter a different world dominated by jungle, soaring limestone rock faces and flourishing ferns. Edge forward along a steep, narrow, rocky track and ascend to our final destination, sharing the trail with passing villagers on their day's pilgrimage to market. After a short but steep walk, we finally arrive at the Lao Sung village (Hmong), an isolated and quaint village high in the mountains, overrun by roaming livestock. The local kids are likely to give you a warm welcome with laughter and smiles. Here we'll enjoy lunch in a local, humble home. Listen to the stories about the various cultures, play with the children or ask questions about the ways of life up here. After this tranquil pause, we start our descent back through other small villages along the way. You will follow a little stream and see villagers on their way back from the market or fields until you reach the Nam Khan river. After a short boat ride, we'll be back to our starting point. The total distance is 17 km (11 mi). Difficulty level: medium to difficult. The hike usually takes 6-8 hours, depending on conditions.

One Day | Luang Prabang's Most Famous Sites

A region endowed with immense natural beauty and an ancient past, Luang Prabang is best seen through a local's eyes. Interested in exploring this area? Then we have the perfect tour for you. Meet your tour guide at our sales office early in the morning for a forty-minute drive to Pak Ou Village where you are free to explore the many crafts that the locals make before crossing the mighty Mekong River by a small boat to the base of a limestone cliff, the site of the Pak Ou Caves. Take your time to explore the impressive lower grottos filled with Buddhist statues and scented with burning incense. Grab a flashlight and head up through a winding series of stairs to find another fascinating and easily navigable cave filled with ancient Buddhist relics. Enjoy your lunch before crossing the Mekong again by boat and continue with a drive downriver for one and a half hours to the famous Kuang Si Waterfall. On the way, we’ll stop to see the popular Whiskey Village where you have the option to sample the locally made Lao Lao. The jungle around the waterfall remains lush and beautiful year-round. The waterfall cycles between placid, turquoise waters during the dry season to impressive, roaring falls during the rainy season. Either way, you’re in for a refreshing and beautiful nature experience. Integrated into the landscape is an Asiatic bear sanctuary where you can see these beautiful creatures up close and support efforts to care for the animals in the area. We’ll end this full-day trip with a return drive to Luang Prabang late in the afternoon. Please note that the stairs in the lower Pak Ou Cave are short but steep. Access to the upper cave is via a fairly long series of stairs and can be taken at your own pace. The Pak Ou Cave and Kuang Si Waterfall lie to the north and south of Luang Prabang city, respectively. This tour will take you to both these highlights, with a scenic drive up and down the length of the Mekong River between.

Overall this was a great tour that I would certainly recommend taking! Although I certainly could’ve stayed at some of our stops longer, I never felt rushed and felt the tour did a great job of giving enough time to see most if not all of what I wanted to. This was a great introduction to Southeast Asia and this trip has certainly inspired me to come back for a longer visit. The guides and group were fantastic and always had me smiling and laughing.

Educational, fun, and full of heart.

Beautiful and well-planned holiday with activities that both parents and children enjoyed. The tour guide was excellent with the children; he went above and above to give us detailed information about his home country, his family, what it's like to grow up there. We felt so welcomed there.

I had a wonderful time! Everything was very easy and I especially enjoyed how outdoorsy this trip was. Laos is completely different from its neighbouring countries - it’s very slow paced and relaxed which really helps to make the most of its epic nature. This trip really covers the best of Laos - it would have taken me at least twice the time to have been able to achieve all of this on my own.

So many meaningful moments in just 10 days

Laos is such a special destination. It has a unique, peaceful, and natural vibe that I enjoy. I think these 10 day showed us the best of this country, we had a chance to join plenty of activities during the trip. And our tour advisor, Brian, has taken great care of us. He was very supportive and always there for us, with the best recommendations for restaurants and things to do while we here.Thanks to him and the team, we have a truly memorable journey.
