Khmu Village Houses - Luang Prabang, Laos
© January 29 2007, Uncornered Market

The last village we visited was a Khmu village. Khmu villages are normally quite poor and most do not have electricity. This one, with a new school and new houses, was relatively well-off.

In contrast to the Hmong, the Khmu build their houses on two levels, with the main living area on stilts.

Read more about the three levels of hill tribes we encountered on this trek.
