Laos is a country where visitors can really escape from the stress of modern life and step into the tranquility of a world dominated by Buddhism. One of the highlights of Laos is the former royal capital of Luang Prabang in the northern mountains. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, there is little traffic on the streets and monks in saffron robes carrying black umbrellas to shade themselves are a familiar sight. The following trek options provide the opportunity to discover charming temples, friendly minority tribes and fertile valleys. The only difficulty will be choosing which route!

Day 1: Luang Prabang - Muang Ngoi (old Muang Ngoi)
This morning, we kick off our trip with a drive to Nong Kiew, followed by local boat to Muang Ngoi where we will stay overnight.

Day 2: Muang Ngoi - Ethnic group villages
