トレッキングと少数民族の村でホームステイ

Luang Prabang is a popular base for community-based ecotourism to trek and homestay. Even a typical tourist destination Kuang Si Waterfalls, you trek with a local guide and visit from the back side by a route used only by locals, and you will get close to nature with a different look.

Laos is a multi-ethnic country with about 50 ethnic minorities living in mountainous areas with low population density. The mountainous region of Luang Prabang is also home to many ethnic minority villages that are economically poor but surrounded by rich nature. The people live a hardy life amid nature. The Lao National Tourism Administration and international organizations develop and support ecotourism to help reduce poverty and preserve the natural environment and cultural landscapes while respecting the culture and livelihoods of these people.

Compared to Western society, which strictly separates nature and culture, in Asia, nature and culture are united in both thought and reality. Laos has one of the richest natural environments in Southeast Asia, and ecotourism in Laos provides an excellent opportunity to introduce visitors to the life and culture of Asia in harmony with nature. It can be a journey for Westerners to encounter different societies and for Asians to find their roots.

If you plan to stay in Luang Prabang for a little longer, hire a local guide to visit ethnic minority villages through our tours. Our local guides have in-depth knowledge of the plants, wildlife, and local culture. You will learn about the life of the Laotian ethnic minorities through homestays. We promise that your journey will be a marvelous experience for you as well as support responsible tourism.
