Luang Prabang River Lodge

Leading The Way in Eco-Friendly Tourism

Author: nattyAT



Since opening up to tourism in 1989, Laos has developed something of a cult status amongst travelers who are naturally in awe of the country's spellbinding scenery and friendly inhabitants. Presenting seemingly endless opportunities to pursue adventure in a sustainable manner, Lao PDR has established it self as a leader in ecotourism tourism within the region. Lending to the personality of the destination and seeking to reveal its true character, ecotourism encompasses everything from sustainable stays to immersive encounters, to hands on experiences. Essentially, ecotourism strives to be low impact with an educational twist, directly benefiting and empowering local communities while simultaneously rewarding travelers with eye-opening and rewarding experiences.

Taking these values to heart, Kamu Lodge embodies the ‘eco philosophy' at every turn. Immersing guests in a truly authentic sustainable  tourism experience; here at Kamu we are defining a new type of low-key luxury where experience is everything. We invite guests not just to observe but to participate in local culture.  Under the expert and often humorous eye of the Kamu ethnic group, guests have the opportunity to partake in activities including rice farming, weaving, traditional fishing and the popular pursuit of panning for gold in the Mekong River!

Kamu promises the perfect stay for experience thirsty travelers with limited time to spend in Laos. Our close proximity to Luang Prabang, affords guests the opportunity to experience authentic Laotian culture without going too far off-the-beaten-track. Blending soft adventures with hands on activities against the backdrop of a stylish and comfortable eco-lodge, we promise and insightful and enjoyable stay. A family friendly destination, kids can meet people of the same age from different backgrounds, providing a unique opportunity for worlds to collide and discover common ground. As well as groups, we can promise a fulfilling and eventful stay for independent travelers who can relax amid the tranquil rhythms of river life.

In the heart of the Lao jungle, on the banks of the Mekong, Kamu Lodge strikes a delicate balance between tourism and the maintenance of the region's cultural and ethnic heritage. However swift-moving the flow beneath our bluffs, the Lodge is an eddy in the rushing currents of our age. A place to slow down.
