Activities at Lanjia Lodge
Half- and Full Day Treks
Trek along a nature trail through scenic mountains. En route visit a waterfall and a Hmong villa
Hmong Batik Class
Batik is a resist dye technique created by wax drawn motifs. Traditionally, Hmong people use hemp as a base fabric. The batik design is used for traditional costume and household items such as blankets. Since the Hmong do not have written language, they create symbols from their surroundings and spiritual belief and use these symbols throughout their cloth to express several aspects of their lives.
Learn how to make Hmong batik from a Hmong lady in the village.
Day Tour around the Golden Triangle
The Golden Triangle is the area where the borders of Thailand, Laos and Burma are divided by the Mekong River. It was once known as one of the world's biggest opium producers. Visit the Hall of Opium to learn about the history of opium trade, board a long-tail boat for a cruise on the Mekong River and drive up mountains to view a royal palace.

Each tribe has distinctly crafted costumes, though many men and children now adopt Western clothes for everyday wear.
