I have some mobility issues but I was recently in Vietnam where I hired a Grab scooter to follow some of the walking tours. Is this a possibility in Laos/Thailand? Are there alternatives to trekking? Happy to pay for extras.

I have reached out to the local team to ask if there are other available alternatives to the trekking. The team responds within 2 - 3 business days. We will reach out once we hear from the local team.

I'm 57 years, may I chose this tour or age limit is mandatory? In addition, which is the extra cost for private room?

This tour is a part of our 18-30somethings travel style, which is only available for travellers between the ages of 18 - 39 to book onto. Our other travel styles, such as Classic, Active, National Geographic Journeys, etc., do not have any age restrictions.

How long of hike to the village and up the mountain? Are we carry luagge hiking to the village? I'm 52 years old and I have no disability. Is there another tour with the same route with the trek hike?

This tour is a part of our 18-30somethings travel style, which is only available for travellers between the ages of 18 - 39 to book onto. Our other travel styles, such as Classic, Active, National Geographic Journeys, etc., do not have any age restrictions. We do not have an itinerary that exactly replicated, but you may take a look at: Northern Thailand Hilltribes Trek.

Me and my wife are in our early 50's, can we bend the rules on the age restrictions

unfortunately not, our 18-39 travel style is for first time, like minded travellers who want to backpack together in large dorms so we're unable to extend it beyond the age range.

Will vegetarian/vegan food be available throughout the trip? I have read that finding vegetarian / vegan food is difficult in Laos and Thailiand. Also, what are the visa requirements for Indians? Is on arrival visa available for both countries?

Vegan food is very, very difficult to accommodate in these destinations as fish sauce and shrimp paste are typically the basis for almost all of their food. Vegetarian meals with just 'no meat' can be accommodated, but your options will be extremely limited. For Thailand, most nationalities do not need a visa for stays of 30 days or less. Laos visas are issued upon arrival, requiring two passport size photographs and approx $50.
