After breakfast, you travel by boat and vehicle to the trailhead for Na Luang. You follow small paths past seasonal rice paddies and through preserved forest, where towering trees and sweeping views create a memorable start to the day. Lunch is enjoyed in a jungle setting, with stops along the way to take in the surroundings. Today involves 5–6 hours of trekking, with ascents and descents, leading to a Lao-style village where traditional ways of life are still maintained. The trail can be slippery when wet, so sturdy footwear is recommended.
On arrival, you explore the village with your guide and, if timing allows, may visit the Tiger Trail-built Clay School, which has been operating since 2011.
In the late afternoon, you settle in for an overnight stay in the village and enjoy a dinner of local cuisine, prepared using ingredients available in the community. In the evening, you may choose to wander through the village, soaking in the atmosphere of this remote and welcoming place.
Note: You will have access to your main luggage this morning but will again be packing an overnight bag as your main luggage will again stay with your boatman.
