For many visitors to Chiang Mai a trek through the forests to visit tribal villages is a memorable highlight. We will be happy to arrange such activities for you to ensure you have a safe and rewarding experience -- and with minimum impact on the environment and tribal culture.
The walking can be quite strenuous, for while the hills are often not too high they are very steep and plentiful. However, we are careful to break up the walking with alternative transport such as rafting and elephant riding.
Head to a picturesque area to ride an elephant through the jungle, then watch the elephants at work. Take a bamboo raft down a river before trying your hand at ox cart riding. Visit a Lisu or Hmong tribal village, and stop off at an orchid farm before heading back into town. Includes an excellent buffet lunch.
