Day 01: Nong Khiaw - Naaluang Trek – Multi-ethnic hike (L, D)
Explore nature, Lao cultures, villages, mountain trails & waterfall in Nong Khiaw, Laos. After a short ride, we start walking small paths past rice paddies and through the preserved forest with huge trees and great views and sneaking between high-rising mountains. Colorful rice fields (seasonal) and gardens guide our way through this amazing scenery. We enjoy lunch in the jungle setting and make stops along the way. Trekking is 5-6 hours medium to difficult depending on conditions. The first day of this tour will lead us to a perfectly preserved Lao-style village, still living traditionally. You will see traditional houses, farmland, and jungle-covered hills. Your guide will give you an introduction to the local traditions, the Lao lowland style of weaving, and other activities. A walk around the village can tell you many stories and shows you the difference between the ethnic groups. We then prepare ourselves for an overnight stay in this remote village and enjoy the local “cuisine”. Take your time to explore the place by yourself in the evening.
