We feature three soft adventure programs from Chiang Mai which give our travelers the chance to appreciate the beauty and experience the culture of this region close up. While these programs are not strenuous, participants should be fit and accustomed to hiking, some of it up-hill.
Accommodations are simple but comfortable.
Hiking Day 1 Leave Chiang Mai by 4 WD vehicle, then take an elephant safari through the rain forest at Mae Tang. After enjoying a picnic lunch, take an inflatable raft trip for about an hour on the scenic Mae Tang River. Then a jeep trip with a visit to Wat Tha Khan, the most important temple in the area. Hike a mountain trail to Baan Pang Hai, a simple hilltribe village. Continue by jeep or hiking to Hmong Village Lodge where a dinner and hilltribe cultural show is waiting.
