who are we
In 1998 Markus Peschke, the founder of Tiger Trail needed to follow his own spirit of adventure. A trip to Laos gave him a new vision. Braving the tangles of red tape, he opened the Indochina Spirit Restaurant in Luang Prabang. The restaurant has become well known to locals and tourists which was hard work in the end...and not what Markus was looking for in the beginning and in Laos.
He has always loved exploring the remote areas of Northern Laos, and started than to create therapeutic and unique eco-tours to share with others. In the beginning a way to get out of work the idea was more and more accepted from visitors and companies...so Tiger Trail Outdoor Adventures came up. From that time the love for Laos was getting even bigger and more intense as he and his team were discovering more remote and interesting activities.
Since its inception, Tiger Trail Outdoor Adventures has specialized in small group tours. Their vision is to provide unique eco-adventure excursions to individuals who wish to experience Lao life and culture, and are willing to respect the ecology, tradition, and culture of the region.
Tiger Trail Outdoor Adventures is a co-operative effort with the Lao people. Creating jobs and locally owned support businesses has been a primary goal from the start. Through these efforts, Tiger Trail has the respect of the people of Northern Laos, and this respect will be evident in the quality of your trip.
Today Tiger Trail Outdoor Adventures is the oldest and most copied Eco Tour and adventure tour provider in northern Laos and can really say "...sharing experience". Come, experience and join our team for some lifelong travel experience in the nature and with the people of Laos!
Why the name "Tiger Trail"?
well, would you not follow the steps of a tiger if you would find them along your way? NO?...well we would, that's why we are called Tiger Trail...and as every thing we do is connected to some personal adventures...it is the Tiger Trail Outdoor Adventure.

social responsability
"As a Fair Trek tour provider for Laos we proved already our work as a process rather than just a product. We follow the guidelines of sustainable tourism as defined from organizations and the government to offer tours which affect local communities and development in a positive way. In order to help we invest in selected regions and communities which are visited by our guests. Through this we make sure that money or help goes directly to where it is needed and offers opportunities for development. Creating jobs, using local products, train staff and our engagement for the Asian Elephants are just some examples.
With our operations we do not only serve with an eco-tourism based product but with a whole process that is based on our visitors and guests. With their visit we can create positive effects, short time results and a long lasting socio-economic progression"
