Hill Tribe Exploration
Wedged between Burma and Yunnan, this remote region of Laos is notable for its abundance of ethnic minority peoples and its rugged natural beauty. Among the colorful and unspoiled tribes are Hmong, Akha, Yao, Khamu, Lao Huay, Shan, Black Thai and Thai Lu. These unique pockets of humanity may well be some of the last holdouts against the tide of cultural homogenization in Asia. As modern means of transportation, satellite television and the world-wide-web converge to form an irrepressible wave of global culture that washes over our world, contacting these tribes represents what is surely a fading opportunity to witness a way of life that has existed in these mountains for millennia.
Travel in Laos on one of our extended journeys through the Northern region of Laos. Using the little town of Muang Sing as a base, make day-trips (by 4WD and on foot) into seldom-visited villages. Or base yourself out of Luang Nam Tha, to stay at a lovely eco-lodge run by friends of ours. By day access surrounding tribal villages, and return in the evening to enjoy authentic gourmet cuisine in the open-air restaurant while watching life by the river. >>Laos Tours: Central
