Chiang Dao Nest 3 Day Treks - HT32A

Chiang Dao Nest 3 Day Treks
HT32A -Hilltribe Trek - 3 Days 2 Nights
Most people only go on one trek in North Thailand in their lifetime. We make sure yours is special.
This is a village scene from one of Lisu hilltribe villages which we visit on this trek.
Highlights
- Experience life in hilltribe villages
- Visit a number of different ethnic groups
- Nice Elephant ride
- Peaceful bamboo rafting
- Enjoy great hospitality
- Stunning mountain views
- Explore two remote caves
- Nature walks
- Demanding Trekking
- Visit a beautiful waterfall
- Clean, comfortable accommodation
- Very few visitors go to the villages we visit on the first two days and sleep in overnight both nights.

Availability: available nearly every day all year 'round. Schedule may be altered on occasions.
- not available from 18th December until the 7th January (see HT32G for alternative)
Private Treks* - maximum 8 people
* When I say private treks it means they are arranged as private treks. If you book a trek but are happy for others to join I can note this and will mention it if I get enquiries. I cannot guarantee others will join so you need to be prepared to pay the price it is for just you and your friend(s) / family.
Departs from: Chiang Mai or Chiang Dao
Reasonable levels of fitness/ agility are required.

Itinerary:
Day 1

7.30am - 8.00am
Get collected from your Chiang Mai Hotel / Guesthouse. (only applies to treks departing from Chiang Mai)
9.30am
Breakfast at Chiang Dao Nest (only included for treks departing from Chiang Mai)
10am
Leave Chiang Dao Nest. We will then drive for just over an hour. When you arrive at the first village Lisu Ban Nalao Mai you will be amazed at the view of Doi Luang Chiang Dao (at 2245m Thailand’s third highest mountain). We believe that it is the most spectacular view of this mountain. We will walk around this village before driving on to Lisu Ban Pha Suay (Beautiful Sky Village),about 6km further.

On the first day we will walk to the nearby forest in the heart of the National Park,where we will visit a beautiful waterfall, and an extensive cave.

At night we will have a special meal and maybe a few(!) drinks.
Overnight stay in a clean, comfortable dormitory-style guest hut.

Day 2
On the second day we will undertake a lengthy trek from the Lisu village to a Karen village, stopping to explore another cave enroute, and have lunch alfresco in the forest. Sleep overnight in a Karen hut.

Day 3
The third day of the trek will involve a car journey to an area where we will visit more villages, (Akha, Lisu, Lahu, Karen. These villages are not so remote and get a number of foreign visitors.) before enjoying an elephant ride through the forest and gentle bamboo rafting down the Ping river.
We will return to Chiang Dao Nest / Chiang Mai in the afternoon.
