Tour Overview
The 2 Days Hill Tribe Trek offers an exhilarating combination of cultural immersion, forest trekking, and eco-conscious exploration in Mae Hong Son Thailand. Discover the rhythm of mountain life among the White Karen people and gain insight into the balance between community and nature.
Day 1: Begin your journey with a scenic ride along the winding mountain roads to the Doi San Fah viewpoint for panoramic vistas of Mae Hong Son. Arrive at Ban Nam Hoo Hai Jai village and prepare for the trek. A 3.5–4 hour hike takes you through rotational farms and lush conservation areas. Along the way, enjoy a packed lunch in nature’s serenity. Your destination is Ban Huay Hee, a traditional Karen village where you’ll stay overnight with a host family. Walk through the village to learn about sustainable farming and forest-based living, and enjoy a home-cooked meal with your hosts.
Day 2: After a hearty breakfast, set off on a 2.5–3 hour trek to the summit of Doi Pui (1,722 meters). Trekking through various forest types—including orchid-rich zones and evergreen woods—you’ll also pass a historic aircraft wreckage site. The descent to Doi Saju takes about 1.5–2 hours. Before returning to Muang Mae Hong Son District, explore the local rotational farming model—a prime example of sustainable living. This trek is ideal for adventurers who respect the environment and cherish authentic cultural encounters.
