Tour description
The Tai people are considered by most historians to have originated in China's Yunnan Province near northern Vietnam. A number of successive migrations broughtthem further and further south and west which is now the Ou River valley. If you are energetic and curious about different ethnic groups and love jungle and mountains, join us for a 4 days trek and discover the secret of the area. It is a journey worth the effort to visit Muang Ngoi, a village once an important center of Tai civilization. Only the ghost of antiquity remains, but the gentle fives of the people on the banks of the Ou reflect the daily lives or their ancestors a thousand years ago. Whether you stay a month or a day, Muang Ngoi will leave an indelible impression. It is a special place. Follow the rivers into the heart of Laos. Follow your heart on the shifting course of the river of life, and learn from one and all.

Trekking in Laos does not mean you have to run through jungle all day long. But trekking in Laos means getting away from so called civilization. Prepare yourself for the things that you will experience and learn on a trekking tour in Laos.
