Itinerary
Day 1: Chiang Mai - Doi Inthanon
Get picked up at your accommodation in Chiang Mai and transfer by private minivan to the Tuk Tuk Club base in Mae Wang, around 45-60 minutes Southwest of the city. On arrival, you will be introduced to your Tuk Tuk and begin your detailed driver training. Don’t worry if you don’t want to drive a Tuk Tuk yourself, you can choose a trip with a driver and still have a superb day and enjoy the joys of nature’s air-conditioning from the breeze in the very comfortable back seats. Once your training is complete and everyone gets ready behind the wheel, you’ll head through small country lanes, passing through picturesque rural farming communities and remote temples. There is plenty of time to stop and learn about life in these communities and soak up the atmosphere.
By lunchtime you’ll have lunch at a fantastic family run rural restaurant and then hop back in the Tuk Tuk convoy and heading high into the hills. You’ll take a stunning side road into the Mae Sapok valley. By late afternoon you’ll arrive in the Karen Mountain community of Ban Mae Khlang Luang where you’re staying overnight. Surrounded by forest, mountains and rice fields the village delivers the perfect mountain experience. In the evening you’ll have a traditional Thai BBQ dinner and
fully soak in the rice field and surrounding scenery. (Lunch & Dinner)
Day 2: Doi Inthanon - Chiang Mai
After breakfast you’ll head off to explore the forests around the village in the foothills of Doi Inthanon by foot, accompanied by an expert village guide. The hike is around 5 - 6 km and takes you through fantastic scenery and eventually to a series of stunning waterfalls. You’ll have lunch in a small clearing with great views before continuing along the trail through the rice terraces heading back to the village where you stayed last night. You’ll then be able to experience a traditional Karen coffee shop serving up superb coffee grown in the surrounding mountains. It’s time to, unfortunately, say goodbye and head back to Chiang Mai City by private minivan. (Breakfast & Lunch)
