This tour is not for the faint-hearted or unfit! You are walking though the jungle/mountains for at least 10km, through dense vegetation, muddy areas and unstable footing with steep drops. I consider myself fairly fit and it was a challenge, especially in the heat & I did slip over a few times. Our tour guide Aryu made this an amazing experience, being from the hill tribes himself and also speaking English very well. He was funny and gave us so much interesting information. At the start of the trek he made all of us crowns/headwear from leaves, and then also bamboo cups and chopsticks as keepsakes and to also use for lunch. These little touches made the experience even better. Lunch itself was amazing, getting to watch omelettes, soup and rice be cooked in bamboo over a fire. It tasted delicious and was one of the best meals we have had in Thailand (or maybe we were just super hungry after the trek, ha ha!). Swimming in the waterfall was fun, but it is very shallow so you can’t ‘swim’ as such. Was nice to cool down after a lot of walking. We got to walk through some villages without any ‘shopping’ being imposed on us which was a nice change. To end the day, we got to spend some time at the hot springs in a couple of small baths (2-3 people in each one). There is a larger pool but it was closed for cleaning. Still enjoyed it thoroughly as a way to soak our sore muscles from the trek! The starting point was only 30-45mins from Chiang Rai so not a lot of travel either side of the day. The only criticism was that we underestimated how much water we would need to take for the trek and didn’t have enough. Water needs to be supplied during lunch as a top-up, or at least let travellers know to take a min of 2L each. It’s a very hot and sweaty day and easy to get dehydrated. The overheads for this tour would be low apart from insurance and fuel, so our concern is that the guide gets paid very little out of what we get charged, when they are essentially ‘the tour’ and make the day! Thank you Aryu for an experience we will never forget :)Fun and challenging hike through the jungle! We are both active runners and hikers, and still were challenged by one very steep uphill climb.

Fun and challenging hike through the jungle! We are both active runners and hikers, and still were challenged by one very steep uphill climb. The guide was friendly and fun. He was also armed with a machete to cut down brush that was in our way. We hiked to many small villages, which was definitely the highlight for me. The lunch was also great and surprisingly tasty for being cooked in bamboo trunks. Wear good hiking shoes, long pants, and bug spray!Si vous aimez marcher dans la jungle, voir des modes de vie différents, allez y sans hésiter. Les guides sont très sympathiques et marrants.

Ein Dschungeltrekking von 14 km mit einem in Bambus gekochtem Mittagessen? Tönte gut und war anforderungsreich betreffend Fitness und Laufen auf glitschigen Pfaden. Das als Gruppentrekking ausgeschriebene Tageserlebnis erwies sich als Privattour, weil covid-bedingt noch nicht viele Touris den Weg nach Chiang Rai fanden. Mit 2 Guides u.a Ai als kompetenter Führer starten wir, und kommen bereits kurz nach dem Start in Regen. Das erschwert das Begehen des schmalen Naturweges, und doch ist es gerade diese eine Herausforderung, welche es spannend macht. Es tropft, man schwitz weil es zügig bergauf geht etc. Höhepunkt ist zweifelsohne das Mittagessen im Dschungel. Die Guides kochen Gemüse zu einer Suppe und Omelette in mit Buschmessern zugeschnittenen Bambusstangenteilen. Das Feuer zu machen mit nassem Unterholz ist eine weitere Herausforderung. Auf dem Hinweg wurden auf dem Markt Gemüse und Chicken und Gewürze eingekauft. Die gefüllten Bambusstangen werden ans Feuer gelegt und das Chickenfleisch in geschnittene Bambusstecken geflochten und auch neben dem Feuer gebraten. Es war ein abenteuerlicher und strenger Trekk mit tollen Guides.Ru was an amazing guide! We highly recommend this tour. The bamboo cooking was great, one of the best meals we've had in Thailand. The trek was beautiful. Ru made us a really special bamboo souvenir that we loved. If you have the chance to do it, go for it!
