Trekking


With so much of its surface area untouched Laos is ripe for discovery. Walking is not always easy going, thanks to the dense undergrowth.

For those happy to use two feet instead of two wheels, hiking and trekking in Laos are a fine alternative to sore bums and bumpy roads.

With a good pair of boots and a guide you’ll quickly find that the religious and cultural collide here. Imposing colonial-era buildings here are at odds with the simple village existence you find, eeked out by the country’s farmers. If you get the chance visit the salt mines at Ban Kheune and the magnificent Nam Ngum Lake. Otherwise, the pristine tropical ecosystems of Borkeo and Champasak have a multitude of wilderness hikes you can tread.
