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
