Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Waterfalls and Sunset at High Altitude
Departure at 8:30 AM from the agreed meeting point. The journey to the peak crosses tribal villages and breathtaking mountain scenery. After checking in at the resort, we will visit the Phu Sang Waterfalls, unique for their warm waters and surrounding jungle.
In the late afternoon, we will prepare for the first trek to the summit (1,628 m above sea level) to admire a magical sunset, where the sun disappears behind the ridges of Laos.
🍜 Traditional Dinner: Thai BBQ “Shabu”
Upon returning to the hotel from the trek, you will have the chance to experience a typical Thai evening. The famous Thai BBQ (Shabu) will be available (optional and to be paid on-site): thinly sliced meat to cook by yourself directly at the table in traditional Thai style.
Expert Tip: Phu Chi Fa Forest Park is a wilderness area and does not offer many external restaurants; for this reason, we highly recommend enjoying meals at the hotel resort for convenience and quality.

Day 2: The Legendary Sunrise (The heart of the experience)
Wake up at 5:30 AM. While the world is still asleep, we will begin a silent trek to the summit. We will walk for about 30 minutes along a trail winding through tall grass and the cool morning breeze.
“Reaching the summit before sunrise is a mystical experience: an infinite ocean of white clouds stretches beneath your feet, covering the valleys of Laos, while the sky is tinted with gold, pink, and purple. It is one of Asia’s most iconic photographic moments.”
Accommodation: Tradition and Comfort
You will stay at the Baan Nua Mek Resort, an incredible retreat located just a few meters from the start of the trekking trail. The accommodation features traditional Northern Thai architecture, with wooden chalets offering breathtaking views and a warm, welcoming atmosphere typical of the Thai mountains.
