Xieng Khaeng Region

Xieng Khaeng, a stunning but largely unexplored region just a few hours from Muang Sing town, remains nestled between mountains and the Mekong River. Its 13 villages, predominantly Akha and Tai Lue, retain strong traditional roots due to their remote location. As the Mekong River flows from China into the Green Triangle near Myanmar, it traverses steep canyons before slowing down further south. Access to this area is possible by boat from Xieng Kok in Long District or by a recently rebuilt gravel road over the mountains from Muang Sing. Travelers can discover lush green mountains adorned with waterfalls and caves, alongside remote villages that uphold their cultural traditions. The scenic Xieng Khaeng village offers an opportunity to explore a beautiful stretch of the Mekong by boat.

The Golden Triangle Trek has been discovered in the Xieng Khaeng Region, Sing District, Luang Namtha Province, Laos, since 2007. Join us on this adventurous trek through stunning mountain landscapes. Organized by Phou Iu Travel & Eco-tourism (Eco Voyage Laos), supported by the Luang Namtha Information, Culture & Tourism Department.

We offer a variety of well-organized adventure trekking tours that highlight the breathtaking landscapes of the Green Triangle. These tours involve physical activities and include visits to hill tribe families who maintain their cultural traditions. Our goal is to provide clients with insights into the daily life and customs of these communities. Our guides are deeply familiar with the villages and families we visit.

Your guide will serve as an interpreter, helping you communicate with your host family. They will also double as your cook, a highlight of the trip for many participants. Our guides share their passion and knowledge to ensure a memorable trekking experience.

We aim to make your journey as comfortable as possible, staying overnight with Akha or Tai Lue families. Participants are provided with local-style breakfast, lunch, and dinner to ensure they enjoy nourishing meals throughout their adventure.
