Tour Overview

The 2-Day Trek at Ban Huay Kaew offers the perfect blend of cultural immersion and physical adventure in northern Thailand’s unspoiled wilderness. Located just 35 km east of Mae Hong Son City, Ban Huay Kaew welcomes you with rolling rice fields, lush hills, and the warm hospitality of the White Karen community. This guided trek leads you through active rotational farming landscapes, dense conservation forest, and crystal-clear creek crossings.

Day 1

Your journey begins with a scenic drive from Mae Hong Son along the picturesque Pai River. Soon after, the vehicle turns onto a dirt road, arriving at the trailhead near the rice paddy fields. The five-hour trek introduces you to the diverse terrain—expect several ascents and descents across forested hills, and crossings over cool, clear creeks. You’ll stop for a jungle-style lunch amid the serenity of the trail. Later, pass the village’s paddy rice fields and fish conservation area before arriving at Ban Huay Kaew. Here, relax or refresh at your Karen homestay, where a hearty dinner awaits.

Day 2

The pace slows for a rich cultural exchange with the White Karen villagers. After breakfast, take a guided village walk where you’ll observe traditional practices like hand-weaving with natural dyes, bamboo and wood carving, and the preparation of herbal remedies. You’ll also participate in a Karen cooking session, learning to create local dishes before enjoying a communal lunch. The experience concludes with a heartfelt farewell to your host family, followed by a scenic drive back to Mae Hong Son.

This experience balances challenging trails with heartfelt connection to the land and its people. With every step, you’ll see why trekking in Mae Hong Son remains one of Thailand’s most enriching off-the-beaten-path adventures.
