Your journey starts in a secluded rainforest area guided by a local expert and a gibbon caretaker. As you walk deeper under the canopy, you’ll learn about native plants and herbs, and how the community uses them in everyday life. The forest holds surprises too, with a high chance of hearing wild gibbons calling across the hills and, if they stay nearby, spotting them moving through the treetops. From the jungle, follow peaceful village paths towards a tucked-away waterfall, stopping along the way to take in the shade, the streams, and the slow rhythm of Mae Kampong. A scenic coffee break with panoramic views lets you soak up the atmosphere before a simple local lunch in the village, with vegetarian and vegan options available. Expect natural, uneven trails that reward steady footing and moderate fitness. You return to Chiang Mai by late afternoon feeling refreshed, curious, and glad you went looking for something hidden.
