Chiang Mai: Cultural Immersion among the Karen.

Immerse yourself in an authentic and unforgettable two-day adventure deep in the mountains with the Karen tribe, while enjoying the comfort of a guesthouse.
You will be picked up from your hotel in Chiang Mai, the train station, or the airport, and driven through picturesque landscapes to the Karen village nestled approximately 70 km into the mountains.
Upon arrival, settle comfortably into your guesthouse and enjoy a local lunch.
Enjoy the surrounding natural beauty, take an easy hike along the river, and meet friendly locals eager to share their way of life with you.

Varied activities depending on the season include:
Rice planting or harvesting
Crayfish fishing in the river
Vegetable picking in the garden
Bamboo cutting for house construction
Feeding pigs
Traditional weaving

Always in good spirits, you will have the opportunity to participate in a Karen cooking class for dinner, using ingredients you’ve harvested.
End the evening around a campfire, perhaps accompanied by a villager playing the Thai guitar for an impromptu concert.
This immersion stay also allows you to hike into the neighboring forest with semi-free elephants.
Swim in a waterfall (depending on the season), feed the elephants before they roam back into the forest. There are no shows or elephant rides here.
Each stay is unique and filled with shared moments, creating unforgettable memories. You are welcome to return as many times as you like!
The stay includes full board. Your English-speaking host on-site can be accompanied by a French-speaking guide for an additional fee.
