Laos Highlands Tours & Trips

Ever heard of Laos' mountainous regions? The highlands offer hill tribe villages maintaining traditional lifestyles, trekking through forests, and staying in homestays. You're experiencing Hmong, Khmu, and other ethnic groups' cultures, seeing landscapes completely different from Vientiane or Luang Prabang. The Bolaven Plateau has coffee plantations and waterfalls, while northern provinces like Phongsali are seriously remote. It's truly authentic.

GIVE did it again with giving me a second 10/10 trip! The Laos team is nothing short of AMAZING, inspiring, and smart and I am grateful to have gotten to travel with them and learn from them all. Being in the village of Sop Chem was special as I became close to several locals and had the privilege of gaining knowledge of their culture. Beginning with breakfast and ending the day with “good vibes” this organization does one incredible job establishing a personalized and thoughtful itinerary for us travelers. I also appreciate the pay now, book later option making trips like these more accessible for college students like me! Thanks again GIVE, looking forward to Tanzania and Zanzibar!
