Luang Prabang Hiking To Nong Khiaw and Homestay - 3 Days

Tour Itinerary

Day 01 : 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 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.

Day 02 : Jungle Trek to the river and cruise to a riverside village homestay (B,L,D)

After breakfast, depart on one of the most beautiful jungle trails in the area bound for the Nam Ou River. You’ll hike through bamboo forests as you make your way through this mountain pass extending to the river and taking about 4-5 hours medium hiking.

Board a private boat to cruise 16 Km upriver to a pristine riverside Thai Lu village famous for its weaving. Here you will overnight surrounded by scenery that is absolutely stunning and unforgettable.

Day 03 : River Explorer, Caves, and Waterfalls (B,L)

Bid your new local friends farewell and it’s off downriver by long-boat as we explore sites and communities on our return trip to Nong Khiaw. Our first stop is the famous Ban Muang Ngoi where we may explore the local agrarian community at our leisure including a short hike to a local cave, Tam Pha Noi.

From there we continue by boat to Ban Sop Khong village where we will hike to a waterfall (seasonal) for a splash. We’ll have lunch along the way and then return to Nong Khiaw on the river for another 40 minutes to conclude this three day Nong Khiaw adventure.
