1 Day Trekking Waterfall & Bamboo Rafting

This full day takes you into the mountains southwest of Chiang Mai for a jungle trek, a hill tribe village, a waterfall swim and a bamboo raft ride, with an English speaking local guide. It is a good first taste of the hills for anyone who enjoys a few hours of walking.

You are collected from your accommodation in Chiang Mai city centre in the morning and driven out to the starting point. The trek takes 2 to 3 hours on local mountain trails, with a stop at a hill tribe village, such as a Karen or Lahu village, to learn about everyday life there. At a mountain waterfall you can swim and cool off before a traditional Thai lunch.

In the afternoon you float down the Mae Wang River on a bamboo raft for about 40 to 45 minutes, a calm ride with forest on both banks. You are back at your hotel at around 17:00.

Lunch, refreshments, safety equipment and accident insurance are included. Wear sturdy shoes or sandals that can get wet and muddy, and bring swimwear, a towel and dry clothes for the ride back.
