Mountain trekking
We start your tour by travelling to the mountain
s, visiting a Hmong village along the way. The Hmong are one of the 3 minority tribes of Laos. Your English-speaking guide will explain you their cultures, rituals and how they differ from the other ethnic groups in Laos. After this you’ll cross a suspension bridge and pass by rice fields until you reach Pathao Mountain and enter the lush jungles of the area.This is when the real trekking begins – a steep hike to the mountain summit (no climbing involved). The view is absolutely stunning and it’s possible to see all of Vang Vieng and surrounds. After catching your breath and viewing the majestic scenery you’ll enter a traditional Hmong village in the mountains and a typical Lao village farm before resting at a beautiful mountain stream fed by waterfalls. Here you will be able to relax and swim in the cool waters while we prepare your BBQ on the stream banks. After lunch you will climb another mountain and visit the Water Cave where you can explore the 200m length of the cave by tube. Then we’ll take you across to the famous Elephant Cave and nearby Lao village where you’ll view the majestic “Elephant Stone” – after which the cave is named – along with many centuries-old Buddha statues. After this, our L.V truck will bring you back to Vang Vieng
