All about the trip
Start your day with a private pick-up from your accommodation in Chiang Mai at 7:00 and drive a little over an hour to Wang River where your adventure begins. Raft on the river with a handmade bamboo raft for approximately 45 minutes depending on the water level.
Take a short drive to a trekking starting point in Mae Win mountains. Count with 2 to 3 hours and medium difficulty for this trek. Enjoy the fascinating views of lush greenery and take a break at a waterfall. Learn how locals cook in bamboo stems over a fire. After delicious north Thai lunch, walk to a Karen tribe village and hear about their lifestyle and farming methods. You may see women weaving traditional Karen patterns or men crafting with wood.
In the afternoon, visit a local elephant camp. Meet these adorable friendly animals, learn about their personalities, feed them and wash them in the river. They love it. However, during the winter months, they may not wish to enter the water and we do not like to force them, so only feeding will be allowed. You will spend about an hour at the camp and it takes about two hours to drive you back to Chiang Mai city. The exact time of your return depends on your pace and wishes.
