Treks
Trekking in the mountains of Northern Thailand has become very popular amongst travelers. The idea of a trek is to see and experience the life of the hill tribes and to hike in the beautiful nature and stay overnight in their villages. These tours are for the more adventurous people. We combine walking with bamboo rafting and elephant riding. Also we include in our program a 1 day trek for people who prefer to stay overnight in Chiang Mai. We do not claim to bring you to non tourist areas but we choose the villages where you can still see the local life. Treks lack comfort but we do
not make it more difficult than necessary for you. Therefore we will provide food which is as good and varied as possible and we use only good pick up trucks
Note: it is not neccessary to buy expensive trekking equipment in your country. You can use for free our backpacks, sleeping bags and mosquito nets.
The prices for the treks are all-in (transport, guide, elephant riding, bamboo rafting, all meals from lunch on first day until lunch on last day)
We can guarantee every day departure. When you would like a private trek or a longer trek (4-7 days), we can make a tailor made trek for you.
