Ethnic Travel Laos

  My friends and I did their 3-day, 2-night jungle trek with both nights in tribal village homestays. We really enjoyed it, and our guide Air was excellent. At... read more the first homestay, a guide from another agency told us that his trek is better because they walk further -- about 20 km a day, really fast and hard, whereas we only did 12 km a day. Um, if I only want to walk really fast up and down hills, without enjoying the scenery, I can do that at home. When I walk in the Lao jungle, I want to go slow and look at the scenery. I want to arrive in the tribal village early enough in the afternoon to observe daily life. I DON'T want to sleep in a makeshift jungle tent with a roof of banana leaves that will not keep the rain out. This was the right tour.

I do wish that Ethnic Travel had told us to bring swimsuits and flipflops -- both would have been extremely useful, and they failed to mention that. Also, in our second homestay, the village only provided us with one blanket each. And some nights up here, you REALLY need two blankets. So demand two blankets, just in case.

  We had a private 3 day tour. The tour was very impressive and we learnt a lot about surviving in the jungle and the people who live in the village.... read more The tour guide was very nice and friendly, good at speaking english and could answer all of our questions. The hike itself is pretty hard, you have to cross the river and climb some parts, so wear good shoes and expect to get dirty! Would definitely recommend if you enjoy a real adventure. Tip: don’t forget to bring some extra snacks from Luang Namthan, the kids in the villages will love them 🙂

  We have been Len’s volunteers for 10 days and he allowed us to join a tour of 3 days sleeping in the jungle and kayaking.

We spend the night in the jungle, preparing our camp with banana leaves and had a bamboo cooking dinner. Amazing what they can cook with bamboo. We had a cold night but with the fire it was good enough. The second day we walked 4-5 hours. We stopped at a village to eat with local people. They just welcomed us so well. We spend the second night to a village. We had a bath in the river and played with children. The family cooked us a delicious dinner. The 3rd day we had to chance to teach english in the village school, an unforgettable experience.
Honda was always there to explain us everything and to be the best translator. He was so happy to share his knowledge with us and help us communicate with local populations.
We highly recommend to do a trek with Honda and Ethnic travel Laos. Thank you so much, we will never forget this experience.
