Following a pick-up from your Chiang Mai hotel, transfer to the starting point of your hike (1.5 hour's drive) and begin with a gradual climb past through various plantations and deep jungle. You will be surrounded by unspoiled nature as your experienced trekking guide leads the way. There's a good chance you will encounter people going about their daily tasks. Throughout the hike, you'll come across scenic views of the valley below, and walk by coffee plantations. Your local guide will share information about the area and explain the customs of village life in northern Thailand. End up at a house for a rewarding Thai lunch with local fruits and freshly brewed coffee.
Afternoon, you'll transfer by car (45 min) to the nearby Sri Lanna national park and its scenic lake surrounded by forest and jungle. After a short paddle briefing, you'll navigate on your sit-on-top kayak, exploring the area inside the lake. Paddling and relaxing time. The paddling time is approximately one to 2 hours, depending on participant's fitness conditions.
Change and dry at a local restaurant, then transfer back to Chiang Mai for a drop off at your hotel at approximately 17:30.

Honestly, Thai food is a bit spicy for us, but I really have to admit that their cuisine is very diverse and rich. I was pleasant with the good service provided by this tour company. From the moment we arrived in Bangkok, our guide greeted us with warmth and a detailed overview of what to expect. Well-planned itinerary, well-chosen accommodations and wonderful landscapes. I'll recommend you for my friends and see you soon!!! Thanks a lot!

My wife and I truly enjoyed this incredible tour. The 3-star hotels exceeded our expectations, not only in comfort, but also in location, allowing us to easily explore local life. Every pickup was seamless. The tours themselves were well-organized and each experience was memorable. Honestly, our only regret is not having more time in each of these amazing places!
A special thanks to our dedicated rep, Evelyn, who supported us throughout the trip. This was a 5/5 experience, and we’ll absolutely be recommending it to family, friends, and colleagues!
