Embark on a trekking adventure through Northern Thailand’s lush jungles, with overnight stays in traditional local homestays.
Day 1 Start of Mountain Trek
08:30 – Meet at your hotel in Chiang Mai.
Drive north to escape the city and experience the beautiful Chiang Dao area. We’ll make our way to a peaceful valley further north, the start of the trek. After a short briefing, we’ll set off on an hour’s trek and you will have your first close
encounter with Northern Thailand’s natural environment.
Next, we make a lunch stop before continuing our hike, gaining altitude and a noticeable change of flora. We will cross a large tea plantation under the shade of tall mature trees and later arrive at a local homestay to spend the night. Your
guide will cook a tasty Thai dinner for tonight, then you have the evening to relax and soak up your new surroundings.
Today’s hike is approximately 4 to 5 hours, mostly ascending.
(Meals: Lunch, Dinner)
Day 2 Mountain Trails + Longest trek day
Wake up to the mountain melodies and enjoy breakfast with locally grown tea or coffee from the surrounding plantation. Today, get ready for an exciting challenge as we navigate through a diverse range of jungle trails and winding paths. We will follow mountain ridges under the jungle canopy, with occasional clearings offering breathtaking panoramic views of the lower valley. Around noon, refuel with a packed lunch in a nice spot along the trail. The afternoon trek will bring more bamboo forest, shade under tall jungle trees and a refreshing river crossing. The last climb for the day will take us to our overnight destination, a Lahu village where you can learn a bit about the locals’ way of life. Once again, your guide will prepare Thai cuisine for your dinner while you put your feet up after a long day! Tonight, you will be staying in basic accommodation (dormitory house) and be able to get a feel for village life.
Today’s hike is approximately 5 to 6 hours, mountain trails with a mix of ascents and descents.
(Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner)
Day 3 Last day trek and return to Chiang Mai
Enjoy a hearty breakfast on the mountain before we begin the final leg of our trek. Today, we’ll embark on a scenic three-hour descent into the Maetang River valley, our well-deserved lunch spot. The hike is mostly downhill, offering stunning views along the way, before we make our way back to Chiang Mai. Drop off at your hotel in the city.
