Interesting trek close to Chiang Mai

5.00We were looking for a trek but didn’t want to spend too long in a vehicle getting to the destination. This trek proved to be perfect. We were first driven to Wat Prathat, probably one of the more impressive temples in the area, and there were a good number of steps to ‘trek’ up to get to the temple. We started the trek from there. For most of it, we felt like we had the forest to ourselves. Ekachai was an excellent guide, pointing out the flora and fauna of interest. There was an element of adventure, crossing streams using stepping stones and narrow branches, with some ducking under, and climbing over, recently fallen trees. It was a bit muddy/wet in places but a decent pair of running shoes is good enough (walking shoes/boots would be better). Any earlier in the dry season than mid-November and it may be too wet/muddy. The path to the summit was closed for restoration until December 2025 but we ended at a hillside town and the simple restaurant had decent food and a great view. I suspect Ekachai uses various routes to get to the restaurant. We were then driven back to Ekachai’s car and were back at our hotel before 3.00pm. This tour was just what we were looking for (as an active couple in our mid-50s) and we really enjoyed it.
Fantastic trip through...

5.00Fantastic tour through the jungle with very eager and skillful guide. Longer and somewhat more demanding than what came out in the description, but we had a very nice ride of 17 km and with a rise of 1100 height meters. Bring extra/dry clothes and socks and plenty of water!
