Tour · 13 nights · with G Adventures
A small-group trekking tour with G Adventures that threads through Laos and Northern Thailand, from limestone karsts in Vang Vieng to Mekong river villages and the street food stalls of Chiang Mai.
Highlights
Trek around Vang Vieng's limestone karsts
Overnight homestay in a Mekong riverside village
Sunset trek to Wat Phousi, Luang Prabang
Excursion to Kuang Si Waterfalls
Street food crawl and celebration in Chiang Mai
This 13-night escorted tour by G Adventures ventures into the heart of Laos and Northern Thailand with a focus on trekking and cultural encounters. Starting in Vang Vieng, the limestone karsts provide a dramatic backdrop for hikes before a slow boat trip up the Mekong delivers a quieter, more reflective pace during an overnight homestay in Muang Pakbèng.
Journeys
Luang Prabang features an orientation walk and a sunset trek to Wat Phousi, as well as an excursion to the Kuang Si Waterfalls where the water tumbles over tiers of limestone, visible and audible from the paths below. After crossing into Thailand, Chiang Mai rounds off the trip with its street food crawl and an evening celebration, all amidst a city where centuries-old temples sit alongside night markets.
The tour involves varied accommodation, including simple guesthouses and hilltribe huts, often with shared facilities, and transport modes ranging from local buses to river rafts. It’s a paced route with a mix of walking, cultural insight, and occasional lively nights out that welcomes travellers who like their travel tactile and varied.
