Storyliving in Northern Thailand: Connect with Karen hill tribe life through immersive forest treks and local homestays.
This immersive two-day journey invites travellers to step into the daily rhythm of Karen hill tribe life – walking through forested trails, sharing meals with local hosts, and experiencing the warm hospitality of the Northern Thai mountains.
The adventure begins in Chiang Mai, where a local guide leads the way to a lively market to pick up fresh produce and introduce regional flavours. From there, a scenic trek winds through lush forest and cascading waterfalls before reaching a Karen village nestled in the hills. Guests stay overnight in a traditional wooden house, enjoying home-cooked meals, stories by candlelight, and the chance to learn a few words in the Karen language.
The following morning, the journey continues through rice fields and forest paths before a refreshing stop at a waterfall and a peaceful bamboo rafting trip down the Wang River. Returning to Chiang Mai by late afternoon, travellers carry with them a genuine sense of connection – not just to the land, but to the people who call it home.
This short yet enriching journey offers an authentic window into local life, ideal for those seeking meaningful cultural encounters beyond the beaten path.
Return to Chiang Mai with more than just memories; return with a genuine sense of storyliving that connects you to the heart of the Northern Thai mountains. Contact us at sales.thailand@khiri.com to begin your journey.
