Day 3 Trekking in Doi Inthanon National Park
Doi Inthanon is one of Thailand’s most famous national parks and for good reason. The park boasts the greatest diversity of forest types and bird species found in any single park in the country and features some beautiful waterfalls, dramatic views and extraordinary nature. This scenery will be the setting for your three days nature trek. At the spectacular Wachirathan Waterfall we will have lunch. After lunch we trek through dense forest and continue our trek today to the White Karen Village of Ban Mae La. Dinner and overnight will be in the village where your guide will tell you the fascinating history of the local people. (B, L, D)
Day 4 Hike Ban Mae La to Khun Na Sa Village
After a delicious breakfast prepared by your guide we will continue our trek. In the morning we will walk mainly downhill to the White Karen Huay Nam Aoon village. You will have time to look around in the village and practice your language skills while your guide prepares lunch. After lunch we will walk up and down through the forest until we reach the White Karen Khun Na Sa Village. This is a small and quiet village. Your guide will ask you to assist you with the preparation of dinner tonight. He will explain the herbs and ingredients he uses. After dinner you will visit a village house to get to know some of the villagers. (B, L, D)

Day 6 Kayak Mid Valley, to Mae Taeng Forest Reserve, to Chiang Mai
Today we transfer to Mae Ngat Valley. Following some instructions about safety and technique in basic kayaking we can start our journey. Gliding along the shady side at the Mae Taeng Forest Reserve the Mid Valley Trip river section has all the fun turns and twists the Mae Ping River has to offer here in the Mae Ngat Valley. After the initial easy entry at the dam flow, the river challenges us to pick the right line between the sand banks and the river shores. The mighty Ping River here a playful “large Creek” gives a handful of opportunities to practice our art of river navigation. Because of its mild consequences but challenging nature of this terrain it is a favourite for new comers to the sport. In the late afternoon we drive back to Chiang Mai. (B, L)
