Day 1: Orchids, Local Markets, and Waterfalls

Your adventure begins at 9:00 am with a hotel pickup. Our first stop is the renowned Orchid and Butterfly Farm, followed by a visit to a vibrant local market to select fresh ingredients for our authentic jungle meals.

By 11:00 am, we reach the trek’s starting point. We will hike to the Mae Taeng Waterfall, where you will enjoy a traditional Thai lunch (delicious Pad Thai wrapped in banana leaves) and have plenty of time for a refreshing swim.

In the afternoon, a 3-hour trek leads us to a Lahu tribal village. You will experience the unique atmosphere of a traditional home stay, sleeping in a bamboo stilt bungalow equipped with a mosquito net. It is a true immersion into the local lifestyle, complete with a dinner cooked over an open fire.

Day 2: Bamboo Rafting and Ethical Elephant Encounter

After a jungle breakfast at 8:30 am, we head to the river for a bamboo rafting adventure. This is a peaceful ride on a traditional raft, perfect for soaking in the scenery and highly recommended for families.

The highlight of the day is the Elephant Camp. Our program focuses exclusively on an ethical experience: you will enjoy 30 minutes of bathing and interacting with these magnificent animals in the river—no riding, just a respectful and unforgettable connection.
