The day starts with a 2 hours road trip; first on Route 13 north and then along a dirt road into a spectacular limestone landscape.
After reaching the starting point, the village of Pak Xeng on the Nam Xeuang, we receive some basic paddle instruction and practice. The first river stretch takes us through rapids of grade 1-2, suitable for beginners. But in rainy season the river class 2-3 rapid.
A Lao style picnic lunch is prepared at a scenic spot on the riverside. There is time for swimming and relaxing, the more adventurous can jump off cliffs into the cool and deep Nam Xeuang!
The night is spent at the village of Ban Houa Sking of Khmu hill tribe, where the locals have some fascinating stories to tell of how they lived through the Second Indochina War.
Approximately: 2 hours driving/6 hours kayaking
End of 1 day trip: The 1 day trip starts in a village called Ban Napho and ends in Ban Houakeng, which literally means "village of the long rapid".
In the morning, the village is revisited before paddling further down the Nam Xeuang. After lunch, the rapids reach strengths of grade 2-4, a thrilling experience for beginners and advanced paddlers alike!
The trip ends at Ban Hat Khang, where a pick-up awaits the group for transfer back to Luang Prabang.
Note: For Nam Xeuang, kayaking is recommended all year round, but more fun in the wet season. Rafting is available for wet season (June – September)
