What you will experience during a trekking tour with Chiang Mai Trekking
First Day
| 08:30 AM we will be pick you up from your hotel in Chiang Mai and after a one hour drive
to a domestic market we spend 25 minutes to gather provisions for the tour. A 30 minute drive on the domestic route along a steep road takes us to the waterfall where you can swim in this relaxing place with wonderful views. You will have lunch and some time to rest alongside the road in a small restaurant. We will do the cooking and you can enjoy your first authentic Thai-Food prepared for you by us as we will also do for the next days. After lunch we will drive another short distance to the drop-off and here the trekking part of your tour will begin and you will enter the dense jungle with us. About 2-3 hours later we will reach a village of the Karen hill tribe at an altitude of about 1,400 meters above sea level. You will spend the night in a simple wooden hut at the edge of the small village. You will have the chance to take a shower and refresh yourself and we will prepare dinner for you. Before it gets dark, you can visit the village and enjoy the evening scene of the surrounding mountains. Among other things you can see the top of Thailands 3rd highest mountain, Doi Chiang Dao (2,175 meters above sea level). Sit on the deck in front of your hut near the small creek and enjoy the first evening, listen to the sounds of the nightly jungle and zip a soft drink or a beer if you wish. |
Second Day
| After breakfast you will be trekking through the beautiful nature and along rice fields for about three hours before we
will be preparing your lunch while you have some time to rest and relax. After lunch break we will continue our way through nature for about three hours to bring you to your next destination: the mountain village. Here you might want to take a swim in the shallow river, take a shower and sit on the large deck above the river and let all the impressions of your trip so far touch your heart and soul. We will prepare your dinner and then spend the evening on the deck. Maybe you want to fly a wish lantern or sing next to the camp fire with us and enjoy the last night of your amazing jungle adventure. |
Third Day
| After breakfast you will start the rafting part of your tour and we will raft your bamboo along the river for about
2-3 hours (depending on the season) from the Lahu village along the Mae Tang River towards a Shan village. Each bamboo raft can accommodate 6-8 persons and their luggage, which is placed on a rack in the middle of the boat so that it is safe from the water. Once we reach the Shan village, you can refresh yourself and will then again experience an authentic Thai cuisine lunch. Following lunch you can take a little time to wander around the small village and across a long wooden hanging bridge and bid farewell to the rain forest. After lunch break, we will drive to our last destination of the tour: meeting the elephants of a small elephant camp (this elephant camp is recommended by the well known Elephant Nature Park). Here you can get in touch with this majestic animals and maybe the elephants decide to take a bath in a shallow river and you might like to join them and wash them a little bit - it is a truly unforgettable experience to dabble with a pachyderm. You can also feed the elephants, walk among them and give them lots of hugs. After saying goodbye to the grey giants, we leave the rain forest and drive back to Chiang Mai in our truck. Around approx. 5:00 PM we will be back in Chiang Mai. |
