Discover the fascinating world of Northern Laos with Exotissimo's Authentic Laos tour. This unique excursion is designed for the intrepid and open-minded traveller with a keen sense of adventure and eagerness to participate in sustainable tourism. Trekking deep into the highlands, participants get to experience ethnic hill tribe culture in its rawest and most authentic forms amidst sweeping sceneries of verdant vegetation growth and cascading waterfalls.
The first encounter with responsible tourism begins with your journey in Luang Nam Tha, a quiet town dotted with pagodas, ethnic villages and lush paddy fields. You will stay overnight at The Boat Landing Guest House, an exemplary model of an eco-lodge in Laos. Moving closer to the Chinese borders, Muang Sing is a remarkable repository of ethnic tribes and culture, including the Akha, Hmong, Kamu, Iko and Lantaen minorities.
From Muang Sing, you will be initiated into the Akha Experience, a culturally and environmentally sensitive trek created and owned by eight Akha villages. Sharing with guests the Akha cultures and ways of life, the local guides also ensure that the maximal level of benefits is channeled back to the local communities. The journey weaves through different villages where interaction opportunities with the Akha people abound. Dinners and overnight accommodations in these villages enhance your understanding of Akha Zang, The Akha Way'.
After the trekking days in the forests, head to the towns of Muang Sing and Pakbeng. Visits to the bustling morning markets yield rewarding insights into local culture. You can witness tribal minorities trading fresh produce in their resplendent traditional costumes, or sample a bowl of local noodle soup, 'khao soi', among the cluster of food stalls. Sail down the Mekong River, where a stay at Kamu Lodge surrounded by the rustic Lao countryside makes unforgettable moments. Visit the Pak Ou Caves famed for its gold-lacquered Buddha statues before ending your trip in Luang Prabang.
