4 Days / 3 Nights Multiethnic Trek
Difficulty: Moderate-Difficult
Trip Overview
We recommend this trek around Phongsaly for sporty and adventurous people, as the 2nd day is quite challenging (6,5-7,5h hike). However a horse to carry your luggage can be rent on demand. This is a new trek in a remote area: there is few water in the villages. Villagers might be shy and are not used to photos (especially in the Eupa village). This trek focuses on ethnic diversity rather than jungle.
