Chiang Mai Mae Kam Pong Wild Gibbon Jungle Trek with Transfer
Overview
Available languages
7 hours
Mobile ticket
Leave Chiang Mai behind for a full-day escape into Mae Kampong’s cool, deep-green rainforest and quiet village trails. Walk with a local guide and gibbon caretaker along hidden jungle paths, learning about native plants and their traditional uses. Listen for wild gibbons calling across the valley and, if they’re close, catch a glimpse of them high in the canopy—sightings are likely but not guaranteed. Continue to a tucked-away waterfall, pause for coffee with panoramic views, then enjoy a simple local lunch with vegetarian or vegan options before heading back to the city by late afternoon. Trails are natural and uneven, so moderate fitness is recommended. Book your spot and follow the forest’s quiet rhythm.

What To Expect
Mae Kampong Village
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 toward 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.

5.00What an incredible day - our guide Nee was fantastic and very knowledgeable, we took many stops along the way to find out more about the local plants and ecology. The company definitely went above and beyond to make this a great experience, from helping to spot Gibbons to giving us all sticky rice as a snack! Fantastic value for money, amazing tour and company, would definitely recommend.
Great experience in the jungle!
