Most treks around Chiang Mai share the same trails. This one doesn't, for one simple reason: the land you walk on for three days is ours. We are a Karen family from the mountains around Doi Inthanon. We grew up here and still live here. The rice paddies are the ones we plant, the forest paths the ones we use every day. Because it is our own private land, no other tour groups trek here. You'll only meet your small group, our guides, and our neighbours. Your guides are Karen and know this forest like you know your own street. You'll eat lunch from banana leaves by a waterfall, swim along the way, cook dinner with herbs picked on the trail, and sleep in two village camps with evenings around the fire. We'll be honest: it is a real trek, five to seven hours a day, and the camps are simple, with cold showers and no wifi. That is part of the charm. Plenty of tours show you a hill tribe village. We invite you to ours. For three days, you're part of the family.

What are people saying about Chiang Mai

Chris_W, Oct 2026

Excellent Food Tour

This was an excellent way of experiencing the old town of Chiang Mai. You are taken to different parts of the city in an open van, stopping at 6 different locations. Each location offers a different and varied culinary experience. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable and the people we met on the tour (6 others) were great fun. All in all a really good way to spend 4 hours getting to know the vibe of a place. You eat a lot so don’t plan to go out for supper afterwards!

The guide was very knowledgeable on everywhere we went for the tour (shoutout to Jackie). My friend and I booked this trip but we ended up on different tour buses. They accommodated us and put us in the same tour bus at a drop off point before the tour began. This group is awesome!

Family of 3 with baby

The timing and pace of the tour is perfect. We never felt rushed at any of the attractions but it also wasn't too long where we ran out of things to do and had to wait. Kwan was extremely helpful at each attraction. Especially as we were traveling with out 1.5 year old, she always made sure we were OK and directed us to ramps and gates for our stroller. The pad thai at lunch was mediocre but they have amazing drinks. The coconut milkshake was really good.

Christina_S, Oct 2026

Loved it!

This was my third time making this exact tour! The nature is stunningly beautiful and i never get tired of it! This time around some of the group speedwalked through the hike and me and my short legs, trying to take some pictures along the way got left behind which was absolutely no problem as one the local Karen guides that came with us, a lovely lady named Gaw, made sure me and some other slower walkers were save and sound! Our guide Shin always had all the Infos to the different places we visited and gave us ample time to explore! Can recommend, will probably do again when I get the chance! Oh and buy a scarf at the Karen village, fabulous quality and so beautifully handmade by the village ladies!

Mike_S, Oct 2026

M - the perfect guide!

M was a fantastic guide and driver for our all day adventure. He was very informative and attentive! The waterfall and the twin pagodas were stunning. We went to lunch at a local roadside kitchen and M suggested our meal which was fantastic. Even though we had a sudden downpour, the trek along the river with Ari was one of the best experiences so far. If you want to an immersive active tour, make sure you ask for M!

Chiang Mai Elephant Sanctuary, Bamboo Rafting and Waterfall Tour

Alma_R, Oct 2026

Wonderful Experience!

This was such an awesome experience and a must-do for anyone visiting Chiang Mai! We started off climbing the sticky waterfalls before heading to the elephant sanctuary where we started with a bamboo raft down the river. We got to enjoy coconut waters, elephants and the beautiful scenery as we floated down towards our next stop, lunch! After lunch we got to the highlight of the trip, the elephants!!!! We got to feed, wash, and learn about these beautiful creatures. The entire 8 hour experience was incredible and Fluke, our tour guide, was awesome. He was funny and honest and made the experience that much better. Thank you, Fluke!

Fantastic trip to Chiang Rai

Although it’s a long journey, the scenery along the way is absolutely stunning, and the coffee stop was very welcome! We loved visiting the White, Blue and Red Temples, each completely different and so beautiful. The buffet lunch was also a great opportunity to try lots of different Thai dishes.

A long day, but definitely worth it. A really memorable trip!
