Day 1
Your trip begins relatively early with an 8.30 am pick-up by mini-van from our office or from your
hotel to drive south on the main national road (Road No. 13S) for about 45 minutes to Ban Suan
Luang – a mixed ethnic minority village. A short walk brings you to the Khan River to take a slow
boat to visit Ban Huay Yen Song – a Khmu village. We will spend a little time here to give you the
chance to learn something about the culture and their traditional way of building their houses. Then
we climb up the mountain to visit Ban Huay Yen Noung – a village of only 20 families. Our climb
takes us through glorious green rice fields with spectacular scenery.
We continue our climb up and on to the Hmong village of Ban Timpha Noung perched on top of the
mountain where we will take a break for lunch. Then a chance to relax and wander around, we will
walk down to another Hmong village - Ban Tinpha Soung for our overnight stay with a Hmong
Family.
