Kamu Lodge - Luang Prabang

The Kamu Lodge is an authentic eco-lodge on the banks of the Mekong.

Just three hours upstream from Luang Prabang. Based on the philosophy that contact with nature is essential to relieving stress, the lodge is the perfect relaxing retreat.

Nestled in the heart of amazing Lao countryside, the accommodation at the Kamu Lodge is 20 cozy tents with comfortable beds, solar-powered hot water, electricity, and private bathrooms.  The modern world and all its complications quickly become a faint memory as one sits on their tent's private balcony gazing at one of the world's great rivers.

Meals are served in raised thatched enclosures amidst the paddies, on floor mats and cushions gathered at low tables laid with banana leaves.  Enjoy authentic Laos cuisine made with the freshest locally grown produce, aiming to keep within the concept of being in tune with the environment and surroundings. 

The lodge takes it name from the area's indigenous clan, the Kamu, whose fascinating lifestyle can be shared by guests at the lodge who are invited not just to observe, but also participate in the local culture.  Under the expert, and often highly amused, eye of the Kamu villagers, visitors can try their hand at traditional fishing, rice farming, weaving and even panning for gold in the rich silt of the Mekong.

Relying on solar power and creating sustainable tourism by giving back to the local community, the Kamu Lodge is ecotourism at its best.
