TOUR DESCRIPTION
Day 1 - We will pick you up from your Chiang Mai accommodation and then head north towards Chiang Dao. We will make a stop at a local market to pick up some trekking supplies then continue a short distance to the trek drop-off point. From here you will start the trek. Trekking on the first day will be mostly uphill as we have to make our way high up into the mountains to a remote Lahu hill tribe village. We will arrive in the village late afternoon and you will be free to kick back and relax or explore the village. Your guide will prepare your evening meal and you will overnight in the Lahu villages own houses.
Overnight - Homestay in a Lahu House
Day 2 - Breakfast will be taken in the Lahu village and we will then commence a full day's trekking. We will make our way through some pristine and thick forest. we will take breaks as necessary and will stop by a small waterfall if you want to refresh in the cool waters. Our final destination for the day will be Mae Mae Shan Village and your accommodation for the night Treehouse Village. Treehouse Village is an accommodation project built with the local Shan community. This timber and bamboo construction clings to the hillside and affords great views over the valley and forest below, certainly a very special and unique place to spend the night. Late afternoon and early evening you will be free to explore the village or kick back and relax in the relative comfort of Treehouse village
Overnight - Treehouse Village
Day 3 - After breakfast, your guide will escort you to visit the local hill tribe school in the village. The school here serves many hill tribe villages in the area which do not have schools of their own. Due to the distance of the villages away from this school, most pupils have to board (sleep) at the school as it is simply too far for them to make the daily commute. Following the school visit, we will make a short 25-minute drive to our cycle start point. From here we will make our way by bike on local tracks and narrow roads through farming communities, passing rice paddies, fruit orchards, and small villages. We will cycle our way to the Sri Lanna National Park office where we will take lunch. After lunch, you will board the kayaks for the paddle (about 1.5 hours) out into the lake and your accommodation for the night, floating houseboats. On arrival at the houseboats, your time will be free either to relax or jump into the cooling waters of the lake for a swim. An evening meal will be served at the water's edge.
Overnight - Floating houseboat
Day 4 - Breakfast will be taken on the houseboats and you will have the rest of the morning to enjoy the peace and quiet in Sri Lanna National Park. Feel free to take a swim or explore the nearby area by kayak. At 11:30 we will make the return paddle to the National Park office on arrival we will have lunch. After lunch, we will drive to visit the stunning Banden Temple before proceeding back to Chiang Mai and transfer to your hotel.
Note: school visits are only available during term time
