Tour Overview
Get ready for the Ban Jabo 2-day trekking challenge—an exhilarating hike through Mae Hong Son‘s mountain spine. This isn’t just a scenic walk; it’s a full-body, full-spirit immersion. You’ll conquer steep ascents, muddy trails, and forest paths, all while soaking in the raw beauty of Pang Mapha and connecting with the ancient rhythms of the Black Lahu village life.
Day 1 kicks off early with a hotel pickup and a twisty ride up to Pang Mapha Viewpoint. After snapping some panoramic shots, lace up your boots—the hike begins. Over 5–6 hours, you’ll move through rotational farming zones, conservation areas, and climb through thick foliage. You’ll rest mid-hike with a packed lunch surrounded by lush forest. The day ends in the peaceful hilltop village of Ban Jabo, where your host family serves dinner and warm hospitality.
Day 2 shifts focus from terrain to tradition. You’ll walk through the village, meet a local shaman, learn to play tribal instruments, and dance in the spirit of the Lan Ja Kru. Try your skills in bamboo weaving and cook a meal using old-world Lahu techniques. After sharing lunch with your hosts, it’s time to descend and return to civilization—with stronger legs and a fuller heart.
