Mother Earth is blessed with breathtaking landscapes. In vacations and spare time, exploring them is well invested time and energy. One such destination for nature and adventure enthusiasts is Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand. Chiang Mai is significantly rich in culture, surrounded by dense jungles, Wild Rivers, waterfalls and rough and tough mountain terrain making it perfect spot for Trekking!
Why Chiang Mai for trekking!
Chiang Mai is at an hour drive from the best trekking sites of Chiang Dao, Mae Taeng river area, Doi Inthanon and Mae Wang making it an ideal base. Since thousands of tourists visit Chiang Mai every year, it does have robust tourism infrastructure, and most importantly you get to meet amazing people from diverse cultures!
Trekking sites in North contain impressive peaks of Doi Chiang Dao, including third tallest mountain in the country. Wild rivers and, jungle tracks make North nectar for adventure seekers. To the South West of Chiang Mai is Doi Inthanon National Park and Mae Wang, beautiful and home to deep jungles. These areas are giving you more space to experience nature in its own music!
All six ancient Thai tribes live in the Northern Mountains. They are less interested in widely practiced Thai culture and prefer to stick to their own values and traditions. You get to interact with them, hosted by them and learn their ways of living life. These hill tribes are amazingly hospitable! You will return with their hospitality stories! Almost all trekking tracks go through the hill tribes villages.
