From Luang Prabang: Private 3-Day Khmu Forest Living & Mekong Fishing

Step into the forest life of the Khmu people on a private 3-day tour for your group from Luang Prabang, learning how indigenous communities in Laos live from the land and the river. Your guide meets you at your hotel at 8 a.m. and leads you on foot past mountain landscapes, ethnic villages and rivers, pointing out edible and medicinal plants and fruit trees along the trail. After lunch you continue to the host village, where the village chief welcomes you and you join in traditional artisan activities. On the second day you head into the forest, learn why a campsite is chosen and how it is set up, gather bamboo as a team to build the camp and its kitchen, and practise forest survival skills. The final morning takes you to the Mekong River to fish the traditional Lao way using the traps made the day before. Booking this trip also helps support underprivileged local families.
