Step off the tourist trail with the Northern Thailand Hike & Homestays tour, an eight-day trekking and cultural immersion adventure beginning and ending in Chiang Mai. Traverse the forested ridgelines and misty hills of Khun Khan National Park and along the Old Elephant Trail, once a vital trade route now reclaimed by nature. This moderate trek appeals to curious, active travelers eager to experience Thailand’s biodiversity and the customs of its remote northern communities. Evenings are spent in homestays, where guests learn about local traditions and lifestyles unchanged for generations. The tour’s standout feature is its authentic, hands-on approach—offering rare access to wild landscapes and meaningful connections with host families, making it an ideal trip for those seeking genuine cultural engagement alongside natural beauty.
