Adventures for Women Only
Luang Prabang
A new mountain community trail exclusively for female hikers is being offered by tour operators in Laos. Camino Women and Khiri Travel have launched the Soum-son Trail to promote long-term community development and responsible tourism.
The 12-day adventure in northern Laos features a slow boat journey down the Mekong River, a train ride, and visits to Buddhist caves and an elephant park. Guests can also enjoy walks through paddy fields, interactions with different ethnic groups and exploring the UNESCO World Heritage town of Luang Prabang. The organisers plan to host five hiking groups on the Soum-son Trail this year, with two groups per month during the peak season from November 2025 to February 2026.
