Tour · 4 nights · with G Adventures
A small-group trekking holiday with G Adventures from Chiang Mai into northern Thailand’s hilltribe villages, travelling on foot, raft and van over four nights through jungle and caves to remote communities.
Highlights
Trek through teak forests in a northern national park
Visits to Lahu and Karen hilltribe villages
Bamboo rafting through Lod Cave
Stay in local hilltop village of Ban Jabo
Preparing a traditional Lahu dinner
This four-night trek sets off from Chiang Mai, threading through a national park where teak forests shade the trail. Along the way, the route leads to villages inhabited by the Karen and Lahu hilltribes, offering encounters beyond the usual tourist trails. Travel includes bamboo rafting through Lod Cave, a rare chance to float under rock formations rather than wade or climb.
Journeys
Accommodations mix one night in a simple hotel back in Chiang Mai with three in basic multi-share huts in the hilltribe villages of Ban Pha Mon, Ban Muang Pam and Ban Jabo. The latter sits on a hilltop and is known for a quiet welcome. Meals include the chance to help prepare a traditional Lahu dinner and learn about local medicinal plants.
G Adventures runs this as a small-group trek, often with fewer than a dozen travellers, accompanied by a CEO and specialist guides. The pace suits steady walkers, and transport between locations varies from pickup truck to van. Some comforts are left behind for the sake of access. It is travel that requires a bit of determination, but the sights and company repay the effort.
