Itinerary
A 830 am hotel pickup takes us high up into the Northern Thai Jungle, the Chiang Dao Valley. Here we paddle the Mae Ping river through serene forest scapes. The creek like river winds itself through the bamboo jungle and temperate forest presenting us with an intimate view of Northern Thai wilderness.
Away from the beaten path, slow to the earthy rhythm of this river. Undisturbed woods, overgrown banks with fallen trees reaching over and into the river, adhere to apparent chaos of nature and going with the flow. The shade from overhanging trees and cool water provide a unique environment as we navigate the task at hand. Ample bird life and lazy water buffaloes keep us company as we glide through nature.
To complete this wonderful kayak trip we enjoy lunch at a local restaurant or riverside.
Now we tackle the Chiang Dao Cave System. We spend approximately 60 minutes following a local guide through fantastic large caverns with headlamps and flashlights, until joining the main route and into well-lit caverns. This is truly a trip of a lifetime, combining 2 of our favorite past times in unforgettable nature . Beginners in both arts are welcome.
