LAOS RAFTING TOUR IN LUANG NAMTHA

Laos rafting package Tours in Luang Nam Tha – Laos Rafting on Nam Tha River

The day begins with some basic paddle instruction and equipment familiarization before taking to the river in single or double kayaks. The Nam Tha meanders through changing forest types, inhabited by animals, such as sun bear, tiger and barking deer and a great variety of birds. The border of the Nam Ha Protected Area is reached in the Lanten village of Ban Sope Dute. Various sets of exciting but safe rapids lead up to a lunch break on the riverside in a Rafting Package on Nam Tha River.

After a typical Lao picnic, there is time for relaxation and a refreshing swim. The next paddling stretch takes the group to the Khmu village of Ban Sop Sim Noy. Kayaking ends at the confluence of the Nam Ha and Nam Tha Rivers, from where a pick-up takes us for the return to Luang Namtha. The optional return by the river is in a traditional motorboat operated by villagers of the area.

Approximately: 20 minutes transfer/ 5 hours kayaking or rafting
