A green and grassroots ethos is core to Avani+: no plastics, high recruitment of staff from the community, and a focus on supporting Luang Prabang food growers.think porridge with buffalo milk from pioneering Lao Buffalo Dairy, rice from Living Land Lao organic farm, and paper and soap wrapping made from naturally shed tree bark.
