Day 1

Overview

Fishing on the Nam Ou by Long Boat (L)

You'll be introduced to traditional fishing techniques and equipment, including nets, traps, spear guns, and goggles, all essential tools used by local fishermen on a daily basis.

Once familiarized with the fishing techniques, you'll embark on a captivating upstream journey by long boat, in search of idyllic spots to put your newly acquired skills to the test. The Nam Ou River offers a plethora of picturesque and tranquil locations, each waiting to be explored and enjoyed. Discover hidden gems such as serene beaches, providing both natural shade and an ideal setting for your fishing endeavors.

Approximately an hour before lunchtime, your knowledgeable guide will build a small fire, gather large bamboo to serve as cooking vessels, and select smaller bamboo for utensils and cooking implements. Witness the art of traditional Lao cooking as your guide demonstrates how locals prepare meals when away from home. Your delectable lunch will consist of grilled fish, Som Phakat (fermented Lao vegetables), Oulam (a traditional stew), assorted side dishes, and sticky rice cooked inside bamboo over the open fire.

After indulging in this flavorsome feast, your journey continues downstream, allowing you to further explore the river's enchanting surroundings. Along the way, you may encounter fellow fishermen utilizing the same techniques you have just learned, showcasing the vibrant fishing culture of the region.

Embark on this captivating Lao Fisherman's Picnic on the Nam Ou River, immersing yourself in local traditions, embracing the natural beauty of the landscape, and creating lasting memories of this extraordinary excursion.

Camp overnight.

Day 2

Overview

Fishing on the Nam Ou by Long Boat (L)

Greet the early morning sun and ignite your spirit of adventure as you awaken to a world of possibilities. Kick-start your day by building a crackling fire and boiling water to indulge in a steaming cup of tea or coffee, accompanied by a delightful snack. With your energy replenished, head towards the riverbank, just a stone's throw away from your cozy tent.

Today, you'll have the privilege of joining a local fishing expert as they navigate their boat to retrieve their fishing net. Meanwhile, you'll be accompanied by your guide on the river bank, learning the art of rigging and becoming proficient in using a tip-up, while honing your skills with a jigging rod.

When the local fisherman returns, brimming with their catch, you'll lend a helping hand in preparing a mouthwatering lunch. Together, you'll transform the freshly caught fish into a delectable feast, celebrating the flavors of the river in every bite.

After a satisfying meal, it's time to bid farewell to the river. Board the boat once more, cruising back to your waiting vehicle. As you embark on the journey back to Luang Prabang, let the memories of the day's adventures fill your heart, leaving you with a sense of fulfillment and contentment.
