An incredible cultural and adventurous experience in the beautiful Nam Ha NPA! From visiting the morning market to collect our food supplies, to chatting around the fire at the jungle camp to learning about the local flora and its traditional uses, this was a real immersive and informative trek. Our guide Mun spoke excellent English and the other traveller and I learnt a lot about Laos and Khmu culture from him. We barely saw any other tourists and ventured deep into the jungle which I loved. We stayed in a jungle camp the first night and Mun cooked us a delicious meal (and catered for me as a vegetarian), and a lovely homestay in Nalan Neua the second night. Swimming in the Nam Ha river with the local kids after trekking for 7 hours the second day was amazing. As an ecologist I was also excited about seeing an Asian Tree Pit Viper. The 'moderate' level for the trek is appropriate, I've never sweated so much in my life but it was so worth it! An unforgettable experience that I would highly recommend to all. Thanks Tom, Mun and the rest of the team :)

For a trip in 2/19 Spent a great afternoon with Kai, who not only showed us some off-the-beaten-track gems but provided great tips to find vegetarian food so we could feel more comfortable exploring and trying things on our Thailand vacation. Loved being able to see a variety of places and the tour was well-paced for a hot chiang mai afternoon but participants should still prepare for a bit of walking. Curious carnivores would also enjoy this tour. Lastly I would recommend that vegetarian/vegans in schedule this tour early in yr trip bc you can put Kai's tips to best use

We loved our holiday in Laos. Our guide, Sai from Laos Group Tours, met us at the airport and for the next 8 days, was our constant companion. As well as the wonderful experiences we had cruising the Mekong, imbibing rice wine, offering food to monks, feeding elephants, climbing mountains, swimming in the blue lagoon, visiting schools and a water buffalo dairy which is changing the lives of villagers, Sai offered us genuine insight into life in Laos. He readily shared his extensive knowledge of Laotian history and current affairs, his mastery of English such an asset in communicating with English-speaking visitors. We loved his sense of humour and his thoughtful responses to our questions. Thank you Sai for a fabulous holiday in Laos and thank you Laos Group Tours for your well-structured itinerary.

This was an EXCELLENT way of seeing the town and orientating yourself. Definitely not strenuous.It also gave us time to view more closely the attractions rather from inside a minivan.

Emailed the night before to confirm pick up. Picked up from hotel by electric buggy and taken to ferry. Crossed the Mekong and then 20-30 minute drive in the back of a pick up all part of the adventure getting there. The waterfall at the park had dried up as it was the dry season but we had been forwarned about this. Excellent safety briefing and then 1 to 1 instruction on the zip lines. We were the only ones in the first group of the day. Equipment all relatively new and European manufactured. Both instructors were humerous spinning round and zip lining upside down but always focused on our safety. Some nice long lines and a twin line which gave us some good photo opportunities. Only down side of just 2 in the group is we didnt have to wait for anyone so in 40 minutes we had completed the course. We had a cool drink and a wander around the gardens before being taken back to the ferry. We asked to be dropped off in the centre of town not at our hotel and the guide facilitated this. A good half day adventure. Recommend.

Rise early to observe the solemn morning ritual of monks walking through the streets of Luang Prabang at sunrise to collect alms. "Tak bat" or almsgiving is a must-see experience for travelers to Luang Prabang, home to nearly 80 Buddhist temples. After the opportunity to make your own rice offering to saffron-robed monks, head to a morning market for another glimpse of local life.
