Morning:Advanced Layout Editor

At 9:00 am meet your tour guide at the office and take a tuk-tuk ride to the start of the hiking trail. After a brief visit to the local Lao market for supplies we arrive at the beginning of the trail at 9:00 am – the Doyluckham trail.

The team will walk through dense rainforests before crossing streams at the base of a shaded valley and then on through a mosaic of cultivated lands and primary forests. During the hike our guides will take time to identify and discuss plants and trees and how they are important to the indigenous people. We stop for a picnic lunch in the heart of the jungle, taking time to appreciate the tranquil beauty of the natural landscape.

Afternoon:

After lunch we continue the hike, as the trail courses beneath the canopies of impressive old-growth trees, eventually giving way to an oasis of cultivated land comprising rice paddies, banana trees, and fields of tall slender grasses. Soon after we reach the remote Nalan village, a timeless refuge at the heart of the jungle preserving the unique culture of the Khmu people. Back on the trail, we continue our hike through old-growth forests, immersed in the wild natural landscape as the steep trail gradually rises along the mountain. From there we steadily descend through the luscious rainforest until reaching Nam Ha village of the Khmu people. Following an invigorating tuk-tuk ride, we arrive back in Luang Namtha at the office at approximately 4.00 pm.
