1st day trek, meeting the Hmong people! In the morning, we will hike around 4-5 hours through primary forests, beautiful upland rice paddies field, dense mixed jungle with a remarkable diversity of tree species, before having lunch. We will choose the top of a mountain offering an exceptional panoramic viewpoint, where the guide will prepare the Lao lunch. After lunch, we will also walk for another 4-5 hours surrounded by a nature that provides food, water, and medicine. End afternoon, we will reach the Hmong village of Ban Mock Choung. This ethnic is very special and knowledgeable for medicinal plants, and for the powerful shamans.

Khmu Residences
Tag 4-5
2nd day of trek, meeting with Khmu! We shall take a bit of time to look around, and at 9am, max should start our wild walk to reach our next "meeting point". This morning is a 3-4 hour trek. If we are not too noisy, we shall see a dear, a jungle fawn, a wild pig, a monkey, a civet cat or a saguaro, otherwise you might only see their tracks. Depending on the time you did start, the second part of the day might be more easy, and you shall arrive to our next homestay mid-afternoon. You will discover there the Khmu way of life, largely considered here as the most Epicurean ethnic in Laos.

3rd day of trek, back to Luang Prabang After breakfast, we shall start our last day journey with an old grown jungle park walk, crossing Hmong and Khmu villages where we always take time to visit, to have a fresh coconut, or simply a little pause. Like every day, we will find the right place to have lunch in a nice area with a nice view and feeling. The trek will finally end with the arrival in Ban Luay Lueang (or Ban Lath Tha Hae, depending on the season) settled nearby the Nam Ou River’s bank. There a transportation will bring us back to Luang Prabang.
