This is an all exclusive package for those who like the outdoors, hiking
and meeting friendly hill tribe people. We can adjust the trekking to any
difficulty you like from very easy to hard. Length of time for hiking can
be adjusted from just
30 minutes and up to 6 hours depending on the trail you choose. This makes this
trek excellent for children, seniors as well as the very fit. Most of the trails
are from 1500 to 2500 meters above sea level, which means the temperatures are much
cooler than the normal trekking areas in Thailand.
Your guide during the hiking in the cloud forest and jungle is a local Karen
Hill Tribe man who speaks excellent English. he can tell you about all the plants,
animals, birds and wild flowers you will encounter during the trek. You will also tour
his village and meet his family and friends.
Here is a sample itinerary, which can be changed to meet you needs.
