Your experience begins with pickup from your hotel in Luang Prabang. Travel by tuk-tuk to the Mekong River, where you’ll enjoy a scenic local ferry crossing to Chom Phet District. From the river, continue into the peaceful countryside on a fun tractor-wagon ride, passing through rice fields, traditional villages, and beautiful rural landscapes.

Upon arrival, meet your friendly local Khmu guide and enjoy a refreshing welcome drink. Learn a few simple Khmu greetings and discover the important role that food, farming, and rice play in Lao traditions, celebrations, and everyday life.

Step away from the busy streets of Luang Prabang and immerse yourself in the authentic flavors and traditions of rural Laos through a hands-on cooking experience.

Begin with a relaxing walk through the local garden and farm. Discover the fresh herbs, vegetables, and other ingredients used in traditional Lao cuisine, then pick seasonal ingredients yourself. Your local host will explain how these ingredients are grown and how they are commonly used in Lao cooking.

Next, join your cooking instructor for a hands-on Lao cooking lesson. Learn how to prepare several traditional dishes step by step, from washing and cutting fresh ingredients to mixing, seasoning, and cooking. Discover traditional Lao cooking techniques and the unique combination of fresh herbs, spices, and local flavors that make Lao cuisine special.

Once the cooking is complete, sit down in a peaceful countryside setting and enjoy the delicious meal you have prepared. Taste fresh, homemade Lao dishes while sharing stories and experiencing the warm hospitality of your local hosts.

This experience is more than just a cooking class. It’s an opportunity to cross the Mekong, discover Khmu culture, explore a local garden, learn traditional Lao recipes, and experience the journey of fresh ingredients from farm to table in the countryside of Luang Prabang.
