Eco-trek - Chiang Mai
Eco-trek - Chiang Mai 2 days
THAI TREK ADVENTURE offers you an outstanding private trekking experience — far more carefully organized and demanding than those usually offered by Chiang Mai agencies! We invite you to hike in an exceptional, little-visited jungle area located 60 kilometers north of the city. There, you will meet the Red Lahu, a mountain minority settled in Thailand since the 18th century, observe the luxuriant flora of northern Thailand, swim in waterfalls and a secluded cave deep in the jungle, and discover magnificent panoramas from the heights.
