tour description

Pick up at your hotel at 8:00 hours. If you have ever wondered how the rice you eat with your Lao dishes is grown then this trip is for you. We drive you to The Living Land Company, a Community Enterprise that offers tours of its organic vegetable farm and rice fields. Learn how rice is planted and grown and if you would like participate, plant some rice.




The farmers and craftsmen in Ban Phong Van guide you through this fun experience. The visit consists of a half day "Rice Experience" during which we demonstrate the 13 steps of growing, harvesting and cooking sticky rice, "Kau Niau", finishing with a tasting of some rice based specialities. We then drive you back to Luang Prabang and drop off at your hotel around 12.00 hours.
