  An opportunity to see an authentic village life. Visiting the primary school was the top. Saak the guide has a lot of knowledge about social and religious life. He was kind and patient.

  One of my best days in Luang Prabang. My guide Vongkham was awesome, explained lots of things about Lao culture, budhism and local legends. The temples in the Woods are simply amazing. You like tours where you can contemplate without lots of people around, that's for you

  I had a truly enjoyable experience on this tour. Even though I skipped the more challenging section because of knee issues, the forest walk was gentle and very manageable, with a gradual incline leading up to the temple sites. The brick-paved paths made walking easy, and passing through the small villages along the way was a highlight. Our guide shared so much about village life—plants, food, daily activities, and the local approach to education—which really brought the surroundings to life. The cultural insight was fascinating. I learned about the structure of Buddhist monasteries, the training of monks and novices, and the ways villagers support and maintain the temples. Visiting unique temples and hearing the history of the three different tribes in the region—lowland, midland, and highland—added depth and context that made the walk far more than just a scenic outing. A memorable part of the day was taking a longboat to the middle of the Mekong River for a fresh, grilled fish lunch. Along the way, we learned about local fishing techniques, the river’s importance, and how these practices sustain families. Our guide also explained how villagers are developing crafts to support economic growth, which gave a sense of the community’s resilience and creativity. It was an engaging, thoughtful tour that left me with a real appreciation for both the landscape and the people.

• Off the beaten track tour in Chompet

  My guide came to pick me up from my hotel before 9 am and I was back in Luang Prabang city before 1 pm. We then traveled to the jetty to take the boat to Chompet and started the trek. The highlights of this trip were the secret cave and buddhas in the jungle. We also did a spot of fishing where we caught a catfish (apparently I was lucky since the fisherman didn't catch any during the last 3 tours). We ended the trek with a delicious lunch at Lao Old House where I had Lao noodles and fried fish. I enjoyed this trip as the area was quiet and not crowded with tourists. My guide was Malaysian Chinese and spoke English, Mandarin and Laos, and was very knowledgeable and obliging. I recommend this to anyone interested in exploring places off the beaten track.
