Nestled along the opposite shores of the Mekong River, the picturesque pottery village of Ban Jarn is a journey back in time to discover the traditional crafts and way of life of one of a multitude of ethnic hill-tribes. From a riverside pier on the outskirts of Luang Prabang, your guide will accompany you on a short ferry ride across the languid waters before you embark on a scenic mountain bike trail through resplendent rural landscapes.
Upon arrival at the small pottery village, you will have the opportunity to wander around and meet with local artisans who still practice ancient techniques passed down from generation to generation. You will try your hand at making clay vases, pots and containers, while learning about the role ceramic craftsmanship has played in the daily life of the village for centuries. After honing your pottery skills, you will load your bike onto an awaiting boat at the village pier to take a leisurely ride back across the river where our driver will await you to transfer you back to the resort.
