Full-Day Kayaking Adventure in Nam Ha National Park (7-8 Hours)

Itinerary:

• Morning: We meet at the Discovering Laos office for 8:00 am, and take tuk-tuk ride to ThaSae village, situated on the Nam Ha River which runs through the Nam Ha NPA. 

• Midday: After some basic instructions on kayaking techniques and safety we begin paddling downriver through the heart of the national protected area where, almost immediately, we find ourselves surrounded by lush tropical forest fishing high from the riverbank on either side. 

• Afternoon: On the river we encounter a series of yet more exciting rapids, all set against the backdrop of stunning natural beauty. Further downriver we stop off to visit a couple of minority villages; heading first to the Khmu village of Ban Nalan, followed by the Lantan village, Ban Namkoy. At each village we have the opportunity to meet the local people and learn something about their way of life. As we continue downriver the current alternates between periods of calm and fast flowing waters, with the chance to spot beautiful tropical birds between tackling wild rapids. Towards the end of the day, we join the mighty Namtha River. After crossing a final few rapids, we reach ​Houay Leuat village around 4:00 pm. We then hop aboard the waiting tuk-tuk for a swift and breezy ride back to the Discovering Laos office.
