Tour Overview

Escape to the untouched highlands of Mae Hong Son, where the trails are alive with wild beauty and cultural depth. This immersive 2-day experience combines adventurous treks, majestic cave systems, and the authentic rhythm of Tai-Yai village life. It’s the perfect getaway for those who crave connection—with nature and with people.

Day 1

Your journey begins with a scenic hotel pick-up from either Pai or Mae Hong Son. The winding mountain road leads you to the Pang Mapha viewpoint—a panorama of misty valleys and forested ridges. Your first destination is Lod Cave, where you’ll glide by bamboo raft into vast limestone chambers: the Giant Pillar Cave, Dolls Cave, and the ancient Wood Coffin Cave. After a hearty Thai lunch, lace up your boots at Ban Bo Krai for a 3-4 hour uphill trek through farmland and thick forest. With every step, the terrain grows wilder, culminating in the serene Tai-Yai village of Ban Mae Lana where you’ll overnight in a local homestay.

Day 2

Wake early to take part in a traditional Tai-Yai merit-making ritual at the village temple. After breakfast, explore Ban Mae Lana’s hands-on culture: from extracting sesame oil and bamboo weaving to crafting the local Shan cigarette, “Ki-Yo”. You’ll witness the rhythmic motions of ancient techniques passed through generations. Feel the connection grow as you interact with villagers, share stories, and observe their passion for preserving traditions. By late morning, tie on an apron and cook side-by-side with your hosts to prepare a full Tai-Yai meal. It’s not just about taste—it’s a cultural exchange served on a plate. After lunch, take time for a quiet moment of reflection, then bid heartfelt goodbyes before your scenic return to Mae Hong Son.

Step off the beaten path—your unforgettable Ban Mae Lana adventure begins here!
