Description
You will experience the Karen way of life, explore their coffee culture on the farm, and enjoy a scenic hike to a waterfall for relaxation and swimming.
Step into the world of the Karen people, an indigenous hill tribe with a deep-rooted connection to nature, a rich cultural heritage, and a unique way of life. Living in remote mountainous regions, the Karen have maintained their traditions for centuries, passing down their knowledge, skills, and values from generation to generation.
One of the most fascinating aspects of their identity is their self-given name, the “Lazy Man”. While it may sound surprising at first, this phrase carries a profound meaning. Rather than indicating idleness, it reflects a deeply ingrained philosophy of balance, sustainability, and contentment. The Karen people believe in working just enough to meet their needs, allowing them to focus on the simple joys of life spending time with family, nurturing their land, and preserving their cultural traditions.
Their connection with nature is at the heart of their lifestyle. Living in harmony with the land, they practice sustainable farming, herbal medicine, and traditional craftsmanship, ensuring that their environment remains unspoiled for future generations.
