Rest with our trekking Yao guides.
Some of our guides are survivors of a bad history happen some years before, and some have managed to return to be guides, often bravely escaping on their own accord, and are now rebuilding their lives. Despite all of these negative societal experiences and pressures that Yao girls and women face, they are making positive changes on their own initiative.

First we came in the village nobody of the villagers came out the houses, too shy to meet us and start a conversation. But after a short while the situation has changed entirely and we were life and soul of the village.
