Overview

Into the Jungle: Rainforest Trekking & Survival Camping

  • MorningWe meet at the Discovering Laos office at 9:00 am and take a tuk-tuk ride to the heart of Nam Ha NPA at ThaSae Village (Khamu Village), stopping off on the way for supplies at the local Lao market. Once we arrive we begin trekking on a trail that ascends high into the hills and deep into wild tropical forest.

  • Afternoon: At lunchtime we stop at a perfect spot in jungle for a well-earned Lao picnic, expertly prepared by our guides using the resources of the surrounding environment. We continue on the trail through a hugely impressive tropical forest filled with mighty mahogany trees, bamboo groves and wild banana plants. 

  • Evening: After finding a suitable campsite our guides will teach you how to construct a shelter for the night, and how to select and find the right building materials. Relax, share some food and drinks by the campfire, and later fall asleep to the enchanting sounds of the jungle.

Forest Trek & Khmu Village Homestay Experience

  • MorningWake up to the enchanting sounds of the jungle with a delicious and authentic Lao breakfast. At around 10:00 am we begin hiking through old-growth forest, totally immersed in the wild natural landscape as the trail leads us over rugged hills and across verdant valleys, all the while shaded from the sun by the canopies of tall and ancient trees. We stop at a suitably scenic location in the depths of the forest to enjoy an authentic picnic - Lao style!

  • Afternoon: After lunch we continue hiking on the trail through old-growth forest, eventually reaching an oasis of cultivated land comprising of rice paddies, banana trees and fields of tall slender grasses. Soon after, we reach the Nalan village, a timeless refuge at the heart of the jungle preserving the unique culture of the Khmu people.

  • Evening: After arriving, take time to relax and enjoy a swim in the pristine Nam Ha River. After a delicious dinner, laid on by our guides, enjoy a few drinks with the locals or retire early to bed in the comfort of your homestay in Nalan village​.

  • Morning: ​Wake up to the sound of village life with a tasty Lao breakfast and hot drink. At 10:00 am, following basic instructions on paddling techniques and safety, we begin paddling downriver, easing ourselves into the day with a couple of short visits to Khmu riverside villages of Nalan Tai and Lantan  village of Namkoy. Soon after we find ourselves paddling through a dramatic cascade of roaring rapids.

  • Afternoon: Around lunchtime we find a calm stretch  of water and stop at a scenic spot for another delicious Lao picnic. We continue paddling downriver as the stunning beauty of the Namha landscape opens before us, stretches of calm water offer the chance to spot tropical birds and aquatic wildlife. Before long the current grows in strength. We speed through a series of rapids and fast-flowing channels before joining the mighty Namtha river. By 4:00 pm we reach Houay Leuat village, our home for the night.  Meet the locals, explore the surrounding area and take a refreshing dip in the river.

Afternoon: After stopping off to visit a couple of quaint Khmu villages we find a perfect location on the river for a lunchtime picnic. Leaving behind the rice paddies and cultivated jungles, the river suddenly widens and the steep hills rising above become dense with lush tropical forest. Soon after we tackle a dizzying number of exciting rapids, before reaching Hat Naleng village and the end of our river adventure.  A tuk-tuk awaits out arrival and drops us off at the Discovering Laos office for approximately 4-5:00 pm.\
