Trekking Adventures

Our Chiang Mai trekking adventures last from 2-4 days. They give you an opportunity to hike further into the hills and spend one or more nights in a hilltribe village. You will be able to experience and participate in the hilltribe way of life. There are groups leaving regularly for each itinerary. Each trek will be led by a licensed English speaking guide and accompanied by one or two porters.

If you would like to go on a private trek or if you have your own group then please just
E mail us

The area north of Chiang Mai, provides us with the opportunity to visit many different kinds of hilltribes. Our 3 day trek Phrao trek is a route we recommend to visit a wide variety of hilltribes. There's no other area that offers such a wide cultural variety. If you are short of time then try the 2 day Mae Taeng Trek which offers some lovely scenery.

If you have any special requirements just let us know.

You can book these treks whether you are staying at our guesthouse or anywhere else in Chiang Mai (city area). Please go to Tour & Trek Reservation Form
