The Gibbon Experience

With stunning vistas and lush tropical rain forests, the natural beauty of Laos is one of the primary reasons many people visit this mountainous landlocked country. And the best way to get out into nature and really experience its immense beauty is to trek. Many choose the areas surrounding Luang Nam Tha while others opt for destinations further afield such as Phongsali and Muang Khua. Those seeking a truly unique experience should take a look at the Gibbon Experience in the northern town of Huay Xai.

The Gibbon Experience project was established in 2004 with a mission to preserve the jungle surrounding Huay Xai from the pressures of poaching, slash and burn agriculture and logging. This is largely accomplished through the fees collected from tourists wishing to experience the jungle up close and personal. A number of trekking options are presented all which feature overnight stays in treehouses and zip-lining, which combine to provide a fantastic perspective on the jungle through which you are trekking.

The trek we went on was called the The Gibbon Express. It features more zip-lining and less chance of seeing wildlife than other longer treks although none of the treks come with any guarantee of wildlife sightings.
