At 9:00 am we meet at the Discovering Laos office and take a tuk-tuk ride to the start of the trail. On route we stop off briefly at the local Laos market for supplies.

At lunchtime we stop at a perfect spot in the jungle for a well-earned Lao picnic, expertly prepared by our guides using the supplies and resources of the surrounding environment.​

We continue on the trail through an impressive primary forest populated with mighty mahogany trees, bamboo groves and wild banana plants. After finding a suitable campsite our guides will teach you how to construct a banana shelter for the night, and how to select and find the right building materials from the forest. Alternatively, we can provide tents for comfort.

Assist the guide to prepare and cook dinner, enjoy and relax by the campfire, and later fall asleep to the enchanting sounds of the jungle.
