Traders of Mekong River
A journey with the people who live on the river
A short description
This is much more than a cruise on the Mekong river. On this journey you’ll have the opportunity to meet with a boatman-merchant family and learn about their lives on the waterway connecting Luang Prabang with Pakbeng.
You will also meet with inhabitants who dwell in the surrounding mountains or along the river, navigating it to get to town and back to their village.
