The wildlife jungle camp and village homestay will bring us up to walk deeper into Nam Ha NPA, always learning about medicinal plants and animal habits, cooking species collected on the way without modern utensils at the campsite, and setting hunter self-mad tent.

Day 1: Nam Ha village campsite (7-8 hours)

At 9:00 am, meeting the group and tour guide briefly in the office, and then we get on Tuk Tuk to the starting point. During the way of driving, we stop at the local market to buy some food supplies. The trekking point starts from Nam Ha village, here get a local guide who is well known for the trail, herb, plant, and wildlife tracks in that region. Then we begin the trek through the plantation for 10 minutes before getting into the untouched jungle of the Nam Ha National Protected Area in which you may encounter and hear some wildlife or just see their track, a picnic lunch will be stopping on the way when we are hungry. Our guides will share their ancestral knowledge about the traditional use of medicinal plants, and edible leaves, teach us to set up the traditional hunter camp, and prepare delicious Khmu jungle food, using the supplies and resources of the jungle for a truly unique experience. Thereafter, we continue the trek downhill through the primary forest until the campsite.

Day 2: Campsite-Ban Nalan (6-7 Hours)

In the morning, we can get up early to enjoy many kinds of animals singing to one another from the higher mountain tops around the campsite. After breakfast, follow the way back until the first day stops. From here the trail is in the valley of Nam Ha NPA. After lunch, we continue hiking downhill slightly to the stream, so we will be arriving at the village before the sun sets. After checking in at your homestay, you are free to walk around the village and learn about their lifestyle, culture, and tradition. After dinner on local food, you will enjoy the tourism activities offered by the community.

Day 3: Nalan village –  Namlue village (4-6 Hours)

In the morning we still have time to visit the village, test Lao Coffee or local tea by bamboo cup, and get a chance to practice crossbow shooting and rice ponding by hand.

After breakfast, the team follows the Nam Ha River to Nahome village and through the open cultivated areas of the Khmu and Lanten minority groups. Lanten is a minority group who still wears traditional clothes, makes their textile, and does natural color clothes dyeing and bamboo paper making (according to the season). After lunch and visiting the village, we gradually trek on a steep hill in the jungle, which is more challenging, but it is also more and more beautiful forest, landscape, and canopy. The final descent takes the group past upland cultivated areas tended by the people of Namlue village. The trail steepens here and can be slippery after rainfall. And that is where we end our trek and return to Luang Namtha in the afternoon by Tuk Tuk.
