The 2 day trek is a great chance for travelers learn about the customs, traditions, and cultures of the local villages. Don't hesitate to ask your tour guides if you have any questions during your trip.
On the first day we leave the office at 9 AM. We trek for 2 hours in the morning and rest at 11:30 AM in a small Khmu village where a local family will serve lunch for the group. Here you have a chance to relax and explore the small village before we take a 4 hours trek into the deep jungle and finish at the riverside village of Houy Hoi.
