Up north in Nong Khiaw 🏕🏞🥾

This morning I got on the bus to Nong Khiaw, which is a cute little village about 3 hours north of Luang Prabang. I booked a 3 day tour, however the tour operator in the end had no clue what I booked and put me on another one haha. 🙆🏼‍♀️
It was still fine though, ended up with 3 days of trekking 🥾
Day 1 was a short hike on Pha Daeng, which offers a 360° view, where the guides set up a tent city (as I called it), in order to camp up there and admire sunset & sunrise. 🏕🌄 Both were simply breathtaking - the nature in northern Laos is unbelievably beautiful! 😍😍 and that star-spattered night sky...too bad you can't capture it on a photo!
Day two was a hiking day through Jungle and rice fields to a little village where we slept in a rural homestay, had a 'shower' in the river, enjoyed local dinner and ended up with quiet some happy water, as the group decided it's the stag do of our guide, who's about to get married soon 🍶🍻🕺🏼💃🏼 it was a really funny night with the group - and again...all those stars...simply amazing ✨️
On the third day we took a small motorboat to Muang Xai, another cute village, where we made our way up to a viewpoint and then continued to a waterfall to have a refreshing dip into the natural pool 🩱the boat ride back to Nong Khiaw once again offered stunning views...words just can't live up to all of that beauty ❤
The busride back to Luang Prabang was bit of a pain - but at least I got to gaze at the stars once again. 🤩
Arrived at the hostel rather late and met up with Martina again 🤗
