Nature's Nest

Trekking through the untamed jungles of north-eastern Laos - SilverKris

"A two-day, roughly 14 km jungle odyssey that combines challenging trekking through virgin rainforest with a memorable overnight stay in elevated, spherical hanging ‘nests’ that protect sleepers from nocturnal intruders; porters carry all supplies and a local Khmu cook prepares basic meals, while the trail threads dense forest, rocky river fords and vast clearings alive with giant vines and butterflies. The route can be arduous and weather-dependent — dramatic downpours turn sections testing — but rewards hikers with a Lost-World atmosphere, close immersion in pristine habitat and direct support for community-based conservation." - Duncan Forgan
