Luang Prabang: Mock Mhoo Trail with Village Visits Mock Mhoo Trail with Village Visits - Join-in

Embark on a guided trek through the Luang Prabang mountains. Visit remote hilltribe villages, rediscover Mock Mhoo village, and traverse a rugged, forgotten trail over high mountain ridges.
Begin your day with a short 15-minute transfer to the base of Tad Thong Waterfall. Step onto a well-trodden path used daily by local villagers carrying fresh produce to the markets below. Follow this trail upward, tracing the water’s edge until you reach its source at Ban Houay Thong.

Nestled at the edge of a plateau, Ban Houay Thong is a unique community where Hmong and Khmu families live side-by-side. From here, traverse the mountainside toward Mock Mhoo, a "ghost village" abandoned over 40 years ago. Although the residents moved down to the valleys decades ago, the land tells their story to everyone who is willing to listen.

After lunch, leave the familiar behind and enter a long-forgotten trail cutting through dense protected rainforest. This leg of the journey takes you over a rugged mountain range where the canopy is thick and the biodiversity is rich. As you navigate the climb, the trees occasionally part to reveal hard-earned, breathtaking views of the valleys far below.

Finally, descend toward your destination, Ban Houy Thao. Before reaching the village, emerge onto a small plateau of lush, vibrant farmland—a welcoming sight after the deep jungle. End the day in this traditional Khmu village before relaxing on a scenic one-hour drive back to Luang Prabang along the winding Nam Khan River.
