RAFTING
CHIANG MAI
2 days - 1 night in Chiang Dao
Day 1:
We pick you up at your accommodation or another convenient location in Chiang Mai at 8am.
We first drive about 45 minutes to a local market where we stock up for the whole trip. Then we will head directly to Chiang Dao and visit newly discovered caves. We explore the caves for just under an hour.
The caves are very beautiful but not for claustrophobic!
Then, have a well-deserved lunch at a local restaurant before heading to the Mae Taeng area and hike for two to three hours (depending on your pace and the number of stops we make) in the forest to a village of the Lahu tribe.
In the village, your guide prepares a feast of northern Thailand and you can learn recipes from Lahu and northern Thailand if you join your guide while he prepares your dinner.
You spend a night as a guest in the village of Lahu.
Meals included: Lunch and dinner
Accommodation: Lahu Village Homestay
Day 2:
We get up early in the morning, have breakfast and explore the village.
Your guide will explain the traditional ways of life of this community of hill tribes.
Then we walk towards the river and build our own bamboo raft, made entirely by hand with natural materials.
We then take the raft to the river and board. We go down the river for about two hours and enjoy the beautiful landscape.
After disembarkation, we first take the lunch break, then it's time to marvel - whitewater rafting / boating in the rapids of the river! You receive all the safety equipment and guide you on the safety of rafting / canoeing. So it's time for the fun to start!
We can go white water rafting during the rainy season or when the water level is high.
When the water level is low (mainly during the warm season and partly during the cold season), we will go canoeing.
We return to Chiang Mai in the afternoon.
Meals included: breakfast and lunch
