Trekking routes to Lao Loum, Lao Theung, and Lao Sung villages

Starting from your Bungalow down to the Nam Khan River, our boat will bring you across the Nam Khan River  to start the walk to a Lao Theung (Khmu) village.


Careful not to disrupt the serenity of this isolated village, we can observe the locals as they carry out their daily tasks; take note that foreigners still remain a novelty here. You get the chance to ask questions and wander around in the small village. Have a look at the simple constructed school or hang out a bit with the chief of the village. Your guide will be happy to translate your questions.
Waving goodbye, we will enter an amazing world dominated by jungle, skyward limestone hills, and flourishing ferns. Edging forward along a steep, narrow and rocky track, we ascend to our final destination, sharing the trail with passing villagers on their way to market or fields. After a short but steep walk we finally arrive at the Lao Sung village (Hmong), an isolated and quaint village high up in the mountains. Welcomed by the shy yet curious kids, we enjoy lunch in a local, humble home to share in an unique encounter. Listen to the stories, play with the curious children or ask your questions about their way of life up here. In the afternoon, descending to several small villages along the way, you will follow a little stream, see villagers on their way back from markets or from the fields… until you reach the Nam Khan River. With a small boat we will be brought back to our starting point. Loaded with impressions, we head back to the relaxing atmosphere of the Lao Spirit Resort.
Begin from 8:00 AM. Return late afternoon.
