Tour Overview

The Ban Huay Hee adventure trek is more than just a trek—it’s an exploration of the White Karen way of life. Nestled 35 kilometers east of Mae Hong Son Town, this village serves as the gateway to Doi Pui Luang, a summit that offers breathtaking views at 1,722 meters above sea level. The trailhead is just 3 kilometers from the village, making it easily accessible for travelers seeking both nature and culture.

At its core, Ban Huay Hee is a living testament to sustainable practices and traditional customs. The villagers practice rotational farming, cultivating rice and seasonal vegetables without chemicals. Their stilted wooden homes blend seamlessly with the environment, reflecting their deep respect for nature. Visitors can witness the intricate art of hand weaving, where textiles are dyed using natural materials like indigo and turmeric. These patterns tell stories of nature and ancestry, preserving the Karen identity in every thread.

The trek itself is a journey through diverse ecosystems. Ascending to the summit takes 2-2.5 hours, passing through conservation forests that were once rotational farming areas. Wild orchids bloom between March and April, adding vibrant colors to the lush greenery. On the descent, trekkers pass through dry evergreen forests and even discover remnants of an old aircraft wreckage—a historical artifact hidden in the wilderness.

This trek is part of the Mae Hong Son trekking adventure, offering a unique blend of ecological preservation and cultural immersion.
