After a short ride out of town you and your local guide will arrive at the Elephant Village - located next to the Elephant Lodge about 15 km out of town and in the middle of a wonderful mountainous valley and on the banks of the Nam Khan River.

Enjoy the amazing nature on this 1 hour elephant trek through stunning landscapes, small forests and a trip through the Nam Khan River. Afterwards a boat will bring you to the Tad Sae waterfalls (dry February and August).  Lunch will be served either at the magnificent waterfalls or on the mountain view veranda of the Elephant Village.

The soft half day trekking (about 3-4 hrs.) will take you out to a Khmu village where you get an insight into their everyday life. The village is nestled at the foot of a small mountain range. Most of the people here are farmers and fishermen. They even speak a different language here and your guide will help to ask questions. This village trek is part of the 'Fair Trek' Project which supports seven villages in the area. It is a cooperation between authorities, the villages and the operating tour company.

From here you will take a small boat on the Nam Khan River or a short walk back to the pick up point and return to Luang Prabang.
