Tour description:

The Seuang River Experience is a sustainable community tourism project set up to both provide income to 12 villages in the region, and to encourage cultural exchange and interaction. Your accommodation will be in the simple houses of your host family, where you will cook meals alongside them. Build bamboo rafts and float downriver, visit a local school and participate in fun games arranged by the village and our staff. At the end of your stay experience a special ‘Baci’ blessing ceremony by the villagers. This is a truly authentic insight into the life of Laos’ ethnic minorities.
