Most people come to Luang Nam Tha in Northern Laos for the magnificent trekking and rafting. The area reminded me a lot of Nepal. The area has recently instituted an experimental, low impact, Ecotourism Project which follows strict guidelines on tour groups sizes, tour frequency, and limiting villages' exposure to tourism, with profits from trips ploughed back into the hill tribe economy. We spent two days trekking through endless rice patties and rain forests to spend the night at a hill tribe village (see next photo).
