Trekking is an excellent way of seeing the stunningly beautiful panoramas of the charming city Luang Prabang. This city can be easily be explored on foot visiting the major sites of this once royal capital and descending to the top of Mount Phousi provides a fantastic view of the city. The trekking is at a moderate level and we even enjoy a traditional boat journey to Muang Khai where we trek over mountain paths to explore some hill tribe villages and cool off from the heat by splashing into the turquoise pools of the Khoungsi Waterfalls. Our adventurous trekking tour is a fun and enjoyable way to experience Luang Prabang.
