A wonderful nature experience with two different atmospheres.
On the first day, after a snack in a quiet Phunoy village, climb one of the highest mountain ridges in the area and enjoy your lunch watching the breathtaking view of endless mountain landscape. Descend through the jungle and its wild orchids and overnight in an Akha Pixo village, sitting on a hill offering nice views of the forested mountains. Married women wear self-crafted indigo colored traditional costume with a trapeze-like cap.
On the second day, make your way through the jungle forest on an adventurous path following the river. For lunch, grill some fish or wild vegetables at the river and go for a swim!
1st day ca. 6h hiking time, 2d day 4-5h.
Difficulty: 1st day moderate, 2nd day difficult (might not be possible in the rainy season). Starts and ends on the road, close to BounNeua. Transportation by bus costs 30,000 kip/person + 40,000 for the guide.
