| The
Lao Spirit Resort is situated in an area of beautiful jungle close
to Luang Prabang. This small, comfortable resort is the ideal base
for a number of soft adventure activities and our two day tour offers
the chance to really experience the pristine countryside in this
part of the country, both on foot and from the back of an elephant.
Group two day tour from Luang Prabang. Includes return transfers,
accommodation and sightseeing as detailed, lunch and dinner on Day
1 and breakfast only on Day 2.
DAY 1 Pick up from your hotel and transfer to the
Elephant Park Project area. Here you will be introduced to the Asian
elephants and go for a short scenic ride through the stunning landscape,
making your way through small forests and along the Nam Khan River
up to Tad Sae waterfalls (please note the trail differs during the
dry season January to August). After a pleasant lunch you will start
on a light trek (three to four hours) through the countryside taking
you into a Khmu village where you get an insight into the everyday
life and culture of this hilltribe. The village is nestled at the
foot of a mountain range and most of the people here are farmers
and fishermen and live a traditional agricultural way of life. Return
to the Laos Spirit Resort for dinner and overnight.
DAY 2 A morning trek to the grave of Henri Mouhot,
the first European to visit Luang Prabang and the man who ‘rediscovered’
Angkor in Cambodia. Return to Luang Prabang, where we recommend
you include an extra night’s stay.
