Itinerary
Day 1
From there we have another short drive to our trekking start point and begin to trek for two hours before lunch to enjoy the surrounding flora and fauna. This is a wonderfully scenic trek in the jungle.
After the trek we have a lunch break at a local Hmong village near park’s headquarters. Your guide can show you around the village and explain about the daily life of the villagers. We also explore the Royal Agriculture Project where villagers plant a variety of farm crops, fruits, orchids, and other flowers.
After lunch we start a 1,5 hour trek in an area studded with waterfalls and you can also stop and refresh along the way. This is an area with virtually no tourists where you can enjoy the pristine beauty of this natural park.
Our final destination is Mae Klang Luang village surrounded by rice terraces and coffee plantations. We have dinner in the village and spend the night as guests of the villagers in a home stay.
Accommodation: Karen village home stay
Day 2
From the village, we set off on a trek in the forest to Watchiratan waterfall. This trek takes about three to four hours, depending on your pace and the number of stops we make. The trail is unknown to tourists, so we rarely meet any. On the way, we stop for a lunch break in the lush forest.
At Watchiratan waterfall, our driver waits to take us back to Chiang Mai. We arrive to the city in the late afternoon.
Tour options
Visit Mae Ya waterfall
Instead of driving to the peak and visiting King and Queen pagodas, we can take you to see Mae Ya cascading waterfall. We can also do both, but in that case, you will only have a short afternoon trek.
Itinerary with more trekking
For the trekking enthusiasts, we can prepare an itinerary that includes more trekking than the default itinerary. We skip the peak and pagodas which leaves us plenty time for trekking.
Add elephant camp and/or bamboo rafting
These activities can be added instead of the trek on second day. Additional price for bamboo rafting is 500 THB per person and additional price for elephant camp visit (bathing and feeding elephants) is 1,000 THB per person.
Skip the visit to the peak and pagodas
This is suggested for those who would like to stay off the beaten path.
