After a visit at the Lanten village of Ban Nam Tod, the Nam Tha accelerates at the "Keng Seua Dote" or the "Tiger Leaping Rapid". After a day on the river and in the forest, the night is spent in the Khmu village of Ban Sop Sim Noy.

Day 2:
The second day starts off with a Khmu style breakfast mainly consisting of what is in season at the time of year. The day is spent kayaking through mountainous scenery, along the range that forms the eastern boundary of the Nam Ha NPA.The village where a pick-up awaits the group for transport back to Luang Namtha is reached by late afternoon.
