3Trekking Adventure in Luang Prabang! On the first day we biked 48 km's (5-6 hours) to the first village. The road was okay to begin with but then we hit the gravel and hills which was rather difficult. The first night we stayed with our guides family at his house. It was awesome, we stayed in a house/hut where all ten of us slept in the same room. The second day we trekked 4-5 hours to our next home stay. On the way we saw snake tracks, went through two villages, tried not to fall into the rivers while crossing on the rocks and got charged by a cow ;) The next village we stayed at was a lot more rural. They only had one shower for the whole village and it was outdoors for everyone to see. There was no electricity and in the wet season you cant walk to it because the river gets to high for crossing (you can get to it by elephant though). On the last day we trekked for an hour then kayaked for three to Pak Ou cave. Our guide was amazing and we were so lucky to have him! Our bodies ached like crazy afterwards but it was so worth it. What an awesome experience and an adventure of a life time with lots of crazy stories to tell when we get back home!
Looks all fantastico. Those bottles. I don't think you'll be allowed to bring any of those home ☺
