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!

Great tour! Everything went smoothly from airport pickup to train station drop off. The hotel was in a central location so you can explore the city by foot. The Night market, Mekong river, Phousi hill, and lots of restaurants were within walking distance from the hotel. The day activities were totally worth it. The tour guides for the activities were all very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour!

The overall trip was very well planned. The hotels were beautiful and central. But there were a few issues with the payment that we did sort out. Please be aware that the flight and or train tickets are not included in the price and that there is a single supplement price that is also unlisted. Apart from that the guides were informative, the driver's and transfers were always on time and the tour provider's were with you step by step online via whatsapp. I had a great time. Thank you
