Your Itinerary
Day 1: Laos rafting Package on Nam Tha river: Luang Namtha – Ban Sope Dute – Ban Hat Yawng Adventure Kayaking
The trip starts on the banks of the Nam Tha, where you receive kayaking instructions and first practice. After a visit at the Lanten village of Ban Sope Dute, the Nam Tha accelerates at the “Tiger Leaping Rapid”. After a day on the river and in the forest, the night is spent in the Khmu village of Ban Hat Yawng.
Day 2: Laos rafting tour: Ban Hat Yawng – Luang Namtha
The second day starts off with a Khmu style breakfast mainly consisting of what is in season at this time of year. The day is spent kayaking through mountainous scenery along the range that forms the eastern boundary of the Nam Ha National Protected Area. In the afternoon a pick-up is waiting for the group for transport back to Luang Namtha. Another option is to return to Luang Namtha on the river in a traditional motorboat operated by local villagers.
