2 Day Trekking to Remote Hmong and Khmu Villages

Well cross the Nam Xuang river by small boat and begin our trek from the rivers banks. The trekking is 4-5 hours easy to intermediate through dense jungle and across numerous streams during the wet season. There are both Hmong and Khmu villages to visit and overnight at. Your guides will introduce you to the villages, prepare dinner, and guide you through an unforgettable experience with your host village.
