Trek jungle trails to remote Hmong and Khmu villages near Luang Prabang for 3 days, with homestay meals, mountain views, and river swims.

“A big adventure into the real Laos culture by visiting two villages of Khmu and Hmong out in a beautiful valley.

Our guide Aroun explained us a lot about the nature and culture, it was extremely interesting and eyes opening! We stayed there over New Year’s and were so warm-heartedly invited to take part in the Khmu New Year’s celebration (sharing food with the whole community, drinking whiskey lao lao, Beerlao, playing music, dancing…). We really enjoyed it a lot and would absolutely recommend this…”
