Nam Ha National Protected Area
The park's ecotourism program, a model for Southeast Asia, actively encourages the involvement of local communities in the development and management of tourism policies. You can join a 2- or 3-day trek through the park, which provides some excellent opportunities for communing with nature, having outdoor adventures, and visiting ethnic minorities (Khmu, Akha, Lanten, and Yao tribes live in the dense forest). Forest Retreat Laos, The Hiker, and Green Discovery Laos (all in Luang Namtha) conduct or arrange tours.
