Depart from Pakse, we drive for about 20 minutes to Ban Huia Deua. After orientation, we embark on kayaks on the Mekong River along the rim of the mountain of Phou Salou and Nang Maloung. Along the way, we’ll witness the daily lives of villagers fishing, bathing and living along the river. We'll kayak to a village temple built by villagers.
