This amazing 6-day ‘off the beaten tracks’ program will delight all unconditional lovers of beautiful mountainous regions, not much visited by Westerners and still populated by ethnic minorities. The inhabitants of these regions strongly value their culture, ancestral habits and customs, as well as their natural environment that they jealously preserve.
Subtle blend of ethnic villages’ discoveries, agro-tourism and ‘off the beaten tracks’ treks, this program is accessible to everyone having a normal physical condition, as it doesn’t include any particular difficulty. Nevertheless, accommodation conditions are very basic and every participant must be aware of this.
But mostly, it is addressed to people who already know authentic parts of Southern Asia, still preserved from mass tourism… In other words, to people particularly interested in discovering this kind of regions, as one still can find in Southern China, Western Vietnam, Eastern Myanmar and Northern Laos.
