Day Hike in mountains of Chiang Rai, North Thailand
Chiang Mai not adventurous enough for you? Chiag Rai might be the answer. If you’re after a full day hike featuring beautiful mountainous landscapes as well as getting your culture fix, this is the private tour for you!
Learn about tribal communities, take in some fresh air and delight your senses as you have lunch by a wonderful waterfall. Your guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel in the morning and then it’s off to get an understanding of tribal communities at the hilltribe museum, where you'll get an 'espresso shot' of hilltribe history and customs.
Once you’ve gotten a grasp of how these groups of people live, you’ll be invited to see first hand how they do things day to day. You’ll visit four different tribal communities, starting by meeting the warm people of Karen. Your guide will answer any questions you may have about the hilltribe communities.
Moving along and crossing the Kok River, you’ll then visit and learn about the cultures of the Lahu and Akha communities. As the day progresses and you continue trekking, you’ll find yourself at the Huay Kaew Waterfall, where you can relax and enjoy the picnic lunch provided. Once you’ve recharged and taken in some refreshing sights, you will visit the last village, meeting the Lisu people. The Lisu people drink more tea than an Englishman watching cricket! You'll get to learn about tea cultivation and hike through expansive tea plantations. The Lisu women are also known for their fashion sense, often sporting colourful items of clothing. Your trek will wrap up at a hot spring, where a car will be waiting to take you back to the hotel.
*Due to weather conditions and other conditions on the ground, itinerary is occasionally adjusted. If it is necessary to adjust the program, every effort is made to ensure that the quality of your experience and your personal safety are safeguarded.
