Nestled on the northern west of Laos, Luang Namtha is like a sleeping beauty of the high hills. The name of this province can be literally translated into "Royal Green River" or "Royal Sugar Palm", which partly emphasizes the abundant wildlife in Luang Namtha. The Nam Ha National Biodiversity Conservation Area with mostly forested areas is home to some minority groups and plenty of exotic faunas and floras. Rather than a place for massive tourism, this is a destination for adventurers with a view to get close to nature and explore the hidden charms of local hill tribes. Trekking and hiking in the reserve zone is a popular activities in Luang Namtha while a temple hopping tour provides a more relaxing but ain’t less awe-inspiring experience
