• Survival trek in the forest – Overview:
  The survival trek in the forest is a unique and exciting experience that you may have never had before. There are no any tour agencies offering this kind of activity in Laos. This trek is quite challenging and involves difficult jungle trekking as you explore the beautiful forest. You will walk up and down mountains through the forest and jungle, cross rivers, and travel along riverbanks.
  During the trek, you will learn important survival skills such as finding natural food, collecting vegetables from the forest, and catching fish, frogs, and crabs. You will also learn how to set traps to catch mice and how to build small camps using banana leaves/tents. In addition, you will learn how to cook food in bamboo, drink boiled water or natural tea, and make bamboo cups for drinking water. You will spend the night sleeping in the jungle.
  On this trek, you can see and hear the beautiful sounds of animals and birds. In the morning when you wake up, you may hear squirrels and chipmunks singing, and you can also hear them again in the evening before it gets dark.
  One of the best parts of this trekking experience is that it teaches you how to survive in the jungle when you go trekking by yourself.
