Overview
Long District is a district of Luang Namtha Province in northwestern Laos.
Description
In northern Laos, shaded between rolling hills and luxuriant forests, lies the sleepy farming village of Muang La. Only an hour’s drive out of the town of Oudomxai, the village provides a stark contrast to life in Laos’ more built-up areas. It’s a place for switching off, for exploring secluded villages and gaining an understanding of the multiple ethnic groups in this area and their cultures. Or, while away a few days simply soaking up the tranquil surroundings in the village’s natural springs.
Flowing through the heart of Muang La is the Nam Phak River. You’ll stay on the periphery of the village in Muang La Lodge, a property that’s largely staffed by the villagers as a way of supporting the local economy. You can indulge in the hotel’s five course traditional Laotian menu, served with European touches and presentation or a romantic candlelit dinner on a private island.
