You will wake up early, and maybe you would like to take a cold shower or a swim in the river, or walk through the villages and witness how the locals prepare for their working day. After you can relax and drink coffee or tea and enjoy a locally prepared breakfast. You will depart from the village around 9 am, walk along the river bank for an hour to a nearby village of Khmu tribe – Ban Nalan Tai. We will continue walking on to another village of Ban Namkoy (Lantan tribe). The tribe which derives from a Chinese origin and who still wear traditional clothes, make their own textile and do natural dyeing. In the dry season, they make bamboo paper for recording stories. After spending a while in the village we will head onward through the forest and climb up a mountain. We walk along the ridgeline enjoying the views before descending down to the Lantan village of Ban Namlue, located near the main road. From there we will walk for few minutes to our car that will take us back into town.

Xia was a fantastic guide, really knowledgeable about different plants, trees, insects and thier uses. Never knew bamboo was so versatile! He always made sure I was doing alright especially on the steeper parts of the trek. He's also a really good cook so the food was delicious. I was a bit slow trekking but I never felt rushed. Xia also explained how the trekking works so that the villages benefit from the tourists which was lovely to hear. Overall was a wonderful experience and would definatley recommend.

Amazing 2 day hike through Nam Ha with my guide Peng - he was excellent the whole trip, explained native plants and herbs through the walk, and even gave a little tour of the local markets before we started.

Well organized, amazing food, great guides, and truly immersing into village life experience. The hike was challenging enough but not overwhelming and good pace. What a privilege to be able to do this!

We are from spanish Travel agency and It's the third time we collaborate with the hiker. The experience was really cool, they took us during 5hours throught the mountains (forest) explaining everything. They cooked the food in Lao style right there with fire. We went to the village, shared time with locals, took a bath in the river (even brown water was so clean). I highly recommend Peng, who was our guide. His English is Perfect, he worries to give you a good experience. Also he was really helpful providing us transports we needed from border and to next destination. I forgot my sunglasses and he worried to sent them to me. the person u definitely want clase for this type of experience

Although our plans were shortened considerably by storms, we still made the most of our trip to Luang Namtha. Instead of spending several days in nature, we could only explore the jungle for one day. Luckily it turned out to be a very special trip. We arrived in Luang Namtha around 15:00, and the guides were almost immediately ready to leave, dis we drove straight towards the jungle. We kept walking until dusk, to get the most out of this one day. The practical side was also well arranged. Because the program was shortened, we got about half the amount back. A very honest solution, which we really appreciated. All in all it was a fantastic experience, it was a day in the jungle not to be forgotten.

We had the best time with Thid and his team of guides and fellow hikers. The jungle is a really special place, and Thid showed us many edible medicinal plants and explained their use. His knowledge was inspiring. It fully became clear to us how versatile bamboo is after going on this hike and visiting the homestay. Our lunch on top of the mountain was delicious, fire roasted fish and lots of vegetables, since our group members were mainly vegetarians. Reaching the homestay village was a satisfying end to the day, we took part in dancing, crossbow firing, river swimming and rice pounding. We also had time to wander around the village ourselves and soak up the atmosphere. Sadly I had to leave on the second day due to a bad stomach, so a motorbike was organised to take me back to town which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend the hiker as an agency. If you’re struggling to make your mind up - just choose the Hiker. Guides were very Knowledgable and professional, and fantastic cooks too!

Two days forest trek with homestay was a wonderful and exceptional expertience! The hike was a bit difficult at some points but the guides weren’t rushing so everyone felt comfortable. I particularly enjoyed when Mr Thid shared his knowledge of medicinal and edible plants from the forest. I wish I’d known how are these plants called in English. Homestay was comfortable, we swam in the river and enjoyed some activities with locals. I’d highly recommend a tour with The Hiker!

The tour was amazing! We were a small group accompanied by two friendly guides - one a local guide from a village nearby and an english speaking guide for translation. The english speaking guide guide was very friendly and helpful. On the hike we learned a lot about the forest and the ethnic groups. They also showed us edible plants which we could try as a jungle snack along the way. The homestay offered impressive insights in the daily life of the village. The trail lead trough challenging terrain (we chose a hard route) but the views are definitely worth it! Overall a very good experience :)
