We drive south to the Phou Khao Khouay National Protected Area to set out on a fascinating 6 six hour trek, a 14 km long trail passes under the canopy, mostly uphill and across several ridges. We encounter the villages of the lowland Lao and if we’re very lucky we may even spot rare wild elephants. This evening we are guests in Ban Na village in a basic, traditional home stay built on stilts.

Trekking distance: 14 km/5-6 hours

For those that wish, there’s the chance to go for a short walk around the village in search of more wildlife. We then drive to some nearby waterfalls and trek for approximately 2 hours. Following lunch we return to the capital. The remainder of the day is free to explore the city.

Trekking distance: 7 km/2 hours
