Mae Hong Son, Thailand (Start from Chiang Mai and finish in Chiang Mai)
(2 Days 1 Night Private Tour)
Tour Overview
Reconnect with the natural world on this immersive Mae Hong Son 2 Day Natural Wonder Tour, a journey designed for travelers who crave untouched beauty and meaningful experiences. Every step takes you deeper into Northern Thailand’s living ecosystem—from highland jungles and roaring waterfalls to the peaceful waters of the Salawin River. With minimal impact and maximum awareness, you’ll explore a landscape that still breathes as it has for centuries.
Day 1: Begins in Chiang Mai with a journey into the heart of cloud forests. Your destination: Doi Inthanon National Park, the tallest peak in Thailand and home to rare birdlife, blooming rhododendrons, and sacred silence. Atop this highland throne, visit the King and Queen Pagodas, standing in perfect harmony with the mountains. Continue to Wachiratarn Waterfall, where mists rise from crashing waters, feeding a forest alive with calls and rustles. After a peaceful lunch, you’ll arrive at Ob Luang National Park, one of Thailand’s geological wonders. The 1-hour nature trail loops through shaded canyons, towering rock walls, and remnants of prehistoric life. Knowledgeable local guides reveal the story behind ancient carvings, cliff erosion, and plant symbiosis. Your night is spent in Maesariang, a quiet riverside town where you’ll rest at the comfortable and eco-conscious River House Resort, nestled beside the flowing Yuam River.
Day 2: Draws you toward water’s wisdom. After breakfast, head to Ban Mae Sam Leab, a small riverside village rich with local heritage. There, you’ll board a traditional long-tail boat for a 2-hour glide along the Salawin River, which carves its path through protected forests and forms a natural border with Myanmar. This river—part of the Salawin National Park—is a lifeline for wildlife and hill tribes alike. Glide past Karen villages, untouched jungle cliffs, and sacred river bends. At the confluence in Sop Moie District, pause to observe the joining of two ancient rivers—Moei and Salawin—before enjoying a riverside lunch under tall teak trees. Your final moment of reflection comes at Phrathat Jom Mon Temple, a hilltop sanctuary offering views that stretch from mountains to river valleys. By sunset, you’ll return to Chiang Mai, your heart a little lighter, your senses freshly awake.
