Tour Overview
You won’t find souvenir shops or selfie sticks on the Ban Huay Kung 2 Days Trek—but you will find something richer. This is a journey built on relationships, not just routes. It’s led by locals who know each tree, each stream, and each story hidden in the hills of Muang Mae Hong Son District.
Day 1: Your guide picks you up in Mae Hong Son and takes you through winding mountain roads to Doi San Fah, a quiet viewpoint beloved by locals. After a 3.5 km trek through a dense forest trail, you reach Ban Huay Kung, a village rooted in White Karen culture. The people here live with the land—and you’ll share their way of life. Cross rivers, hike to Huay Nam Sai waterfall, fish with handmade gear, and taste a jungle-cooked lunch. The day ends with hands-on cooking and an overnight stay at a locally-run ecolodge.
Day 2: Seasonal trails guide you through forested landscapes or along the river toward either Ban Nam Hoo Hai Jai or Pha Bong Dam. No two journeys are the same—each trail reveals different village routines and farming rhythms. Local guides share insight into Karen customs, and a picnic lunch keeps you energized. This is more than a trek; it’s a firsthand look at life in Mae Hong Son Thailand.
