Hill-tribe villages




A great time to visit the villages is during one of their festivals when you can see the villagers in their finery. Over 100 years ago, the Hill-tribe people migrated south from China into current-day Burma, Laos, Vietnam, and Thailand. The six major tribes are the Karen (Kariang, Yang), Hmong (Meo), Yao (Mien), Akha (Ekaw), Lisu (Lisaw), and Lahu (Mussur). Each tribe is distinct, with their own culture, religion, language, art, and dress; however, given the rate of modernization, it is unknown how long these tribes will continue their traditions. The guided tours offer varying routes and options, including accommodations within consenting hill tribe villages.
