A three-day expedition into the heart of northern Laos

Explore the untouched beauty of Laos with a three-day expedition to the remote far north hinterland—an ideal adventure for travelers seeking the most pristine landscapes. A scenic drive from Luang Prabang to Ban Sop Jam unveils captivating countryside and charming H’mong and Khamu villages. Upon reaching the traditional fishing village, guests check into an iconic bamboo lodge and savor a delectable Laos-style lunch.

As the day unfolds with leisurely activities, a riverbank dinner awaits, complemented by the exceptional local Beer Lao and indigenous liquors. Children bid a cheerful farewell as guests embark on a moderately challenging trek through remote lands teeming with wildlife, ultimately reaching the hill-tribe village of Kiew Khan. Here, the headman warmly welcomes them, accompanied by a group of endearing and curious children, setting the stage for a relaxing evening capped off with a fantastic dinner.

On the final day, residents may graciously perform a blessing ceremony if not engaged in their daily chores. Travelers are encouraged to express gratitude to the headman’s family before moving on to another village for lunch. The journey concludes with a private boat cruise along the breathtaking Nam Ou River.
