Luang Prabang - Muang Ngoi- Ban Kioukhan - Ban Hadsapheui - Luang Prabang
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
After breakfast we begin our trek to Ban Kioukhan, approx 4-5 hours on foot and 1200m above sea level. Enjoy a picnic lunch along the scenic path before arriving in Ban Kioukhan where we spend the night in a traditional home stay. (B, L, D)

Day 3: Ban Kioukhan - Ban Hadsapheui
After breakfast we continue our trek downhill before arriving at the local village of Ban Hadsapheui, belonging to the Khmu tribe where we will be their guests for the night. (B, L, D)

Day 4: Ban Hadsapheui - Luang Prabang
After breakfast, we will take a local boat to Nong Kiew and bus back to Luang Prabang.(B)

What to take:
You will be responsible for carrying your own luggage; therefore it is in your own interest to pack as lightly as possible. We suggest a medium sized backpack for the treks with enough essentials for two nights away. Suitcases are not suitable for this trip. We also recommend strong walking shoes/boots for the trek, sandals and a pair of loose fitting comfortable long pants for the evenings. Video cameras in the minority villages are available to use one in these areas, but always asking first before making photos.
