Map

If you go the long way, from the Luang Prabang side you'll get to take one of the worst roads in Laos and you'll end up here at this tiny village where you will be the only white people for hundreds of miles. Get good with hand gestures or learn Lao.

This thing as it turns out is some sort of giant squirrel. The image was taken by holding my camera up to a spotting scope, which worked surprisingly well. You can read more about the Gibbon Experience in an entry on luxagraf entitled I Used to Fly Like Peter Pan.

The view from treehouse three, which is mainly a hike, though there's a zip line to get into the actual treehouse. Hiking was a bit nerve wracking since there are a number of tigers in the area.

Sunset at treehouse three. I didn't actually stay there, but it did have the best sunset view. I don't know if it's done yet but they were in the process of building a fourth and fifth treehouses as well.
