Trekking opportunities in Laos

Lunag Namtha

Luang Namtha is a town in northern Laos near the border with China and is the main market town for minority tribes who live in this area. The surrounding mountainous countryside is great for exploring on foot or bicycle and visiting the ethnic villages to learn about the lives of these tribes.

Bolaven Plateau

The Bolaven Plateau in the south of Laos is an area of temperate climate and fertile lands, with many coffee and tea plantations. The region has some spectacular scenery, including the Tad Lo Waterfalls, and is ideal for trekking through the forested landscapes. Several Mon-Khmer ethnic groups live in this area.
