Overview

Namtha River Kayaking & Khmu Village Homestay Experience

  • Morning: We meet at the Discovering Laos office for 9:00am. Our tuk-tuk service will drop us off at the start of the Namtha river. Following some basic instruction on kayaking techniques and safety we begin paddling on the downriver. After 2 hours kayaking we stop off at Sop Tud village of the Lantan people. After meeting the local people and learning about their culture and way of life we head back to our kayaks and re-join the river.

  • Midday: After tackling a series of exciting rapids, we stop off at a serene location on the riverbank for a well-earned Lao picnic lunch. Time for a water-flight.

  • Afternoon: Back on the river the current takes us by minority villages for some exploration. Soon after the current quickens and we paddle on through yet more rapids, set against a backdrop of outstanding natural beauty. By 3-4.00pm we reach the village of Houay Leuat, a charming settlement of the Khmu people.

  • Evening: After meeting the locals and taking a tour of the village, take time to relax, go for a refreshing swim in the river, or explore the local area. A traditional Lao dinner will be served, after which relax at your eco-lodge or homestay or spend a few hours socialising 

Departure: 09:00 AM
Finish: 15:00 - 16:00 PM (Houy Leuat village)
