Experience the Life of the Hidden Hill Tribes

Lao Youth Travel is now offering a 3-day/2-night trekking and boat journey to Luang Prabang’s ethnic communities. The expedition heads up the Nam Ou River from Muang Ngoi to the Lao Loum village of Ban Hatsa, hikes to a Hmong village for an overnight stay, and continues to a mountaintop Khmu village for a home stay or a camp out. Nearly all tour fees go to village funds, building schools, hiring local boats and guides, and paying villagers for food and home stays.
