Day 1

Overview

Discovering the Nam Ha NPA

Departing from Luang Namtha, we drive south into the Nam Ha Protected Area. We meet our local village guide after crossing the Nam Tha river by boat. Our guides can tell you about the local plants and animals as we hike up high into the mountains. Along the way to our campsite the local guides will show us how to collect wild herbs and vegetables for our dinner.

We will cook our foraged dinner on our campfire using tubes of bamboo, a cooking style unique to SouthEast Asia. After dinner fall asleep to the sounds of the forest, or go wildlife spotting with the help of our local guide.

Approximately: 60 minutes transfer/ 6 hours trekking

Day 2

Overview

Jungle life immersion and homestay

We wake up early to light the campfire for a hearty breakfast, giving us the energy we need to trek further into the forest.

Deep in the woods we’ll have a break for lunch. From here our local guide will return to his village as we carry on. As we approach the river, the forest changes to a wider variety of trees and plants  giving us a chance to fully immerse in the jungle. The guide will point out signs of more elusive wildlife, including bears, civets and wild boars which are present in the area. 

Following a steep descent, we arrive either at the village where we will spend the night. Our local hosts will prepare dinner in a “rural style” whilst you take time to swim and bathe in the river. After dinner we have time to explore the village and meet some of the locals with our guide who will explain life in the village. 

Approximately: 6-7 hours trekking

Day 3

Overview

A journey to the best views

Again we get up early and have breakfast in the village before enjoying a relatively gentle walk along the river and through rice paddies. We then enter the jungle once again to trek to our lunch spot. Lunch will be provided for us by Khmu villagers at a fantastic viewpoint with incredible vistas across the valley. We can take this moment to appreciate how far we have walked!

After lunch, we make our last descent down from the mountains to a small village, where our transport is waiting to take us back to Luang Namtha.

Approximately: 6 hours trekking/ 25 minutes transfer
