Morning
At 9:00 am we meet at the Discovering Laos office where a tuk-tuk waits to take us to the beginning of the hiking trail. On the way we stop off at a local Laos market for supplies and then visit  Nam Lue village ( Lantan Tribe ) to seeing how local handcrafts are made. Around 10:00 am we reach the start of the trail and begin a gradual ascent of densely forested hills. During the hike our guides will take time to identify and discuss plants and trees and how they are important to the local indigenous people.​

Midday
On finding a suitable location your guides will stop to prepare a delicious Lao picnic lunch, using the supplies and resources of the jungle for a truly unique experience.

Afternoon
Continuing on the trail we find ourselves immersed deep in wild primary jungle, which before long opens onto a rich mosaic of cultivated
lands.At around 3-4 pm we end the trek by reaching Ban Tha Sae, a remote highland village of the Khmu people. Explore the village before we take a tuk-tuk ride back to the Discovering Laos office in Luang Namtha.

(Alternatively, if you want a more full and active one day trek, then choose Option which takes you first to the Nalan village. This will suit avid trekkers who are limited on time)
