Teen Tours in Laos
Mighty rivers wind their way through limestone mountains, and smiling children ride bicycles home from school down dirt roads that weave through vibrant fields of rice. Welcome to Laos. From the charming city of Luang Prabang to the tiny village of Na Som, our operations in Laos encompass the best of this seldom-seen country. In Luang Prabang, we have secured an amazing piece of land on the Mekong River that is just a short distance away from the center of the UNESCO World Heritage town. We are now preparing to build a year-round base on this land, allowing students to explore this amazing region and delve into Laos’s many cultural riches. In Na Som we have begun a wonderful relationship with the villagers and have three local, full-time employees. We are committed to helping the friendly Hmong people who live here and are excited to get to work improving and remodeling the dilapidated village school with our students. Join us on a voyage through the ‘Land of a Million Wild Elephants’ that will educate and inspire you.

All of our Laos trips interconnect seamlessly to encourage students to get the total Laos experience. Spending a week immersed in the village of Na Som on either the Ricefields and Rural Laos – Both Sides of the Mekong River or the Waterfalls, Caves and Shaman trip followed by a week on the Sticky Rice Service Adventure will give students a well rounded introduction to the incredible country of Laos. For an even greater immersion into Laos any of the service programs may also easily be combined with Off the Map Laos.
