Day 1
At 8:30 a.m. we begin our adventure with a morning hotel pickup in Chiang Mai, followed by a scenic 1.30 hours drive north where the magic begins. The journey starts with a 2-hour trek through lush and enchanting forests, giving you a taste of what's to come. You'll have a local lunch break to enjoy the regional flavors. The second part of the trek takes you to a charming Akha village, a place filled with life, culture, and warm welcomes. Here, you can participate in various activities that are part of the Akha culture. You can engage in unique embroidery, take part in a captivating dance performance around a fire, and experience the traditional Akha bamboo foot jumping dance that showcases the Akha way of life. As evening falls, gather around for a special Akha dinner with a local family. It's a time to connect, share stories, and listen to the wisdom passed down through generations. When the day ends, you'll retire for the night, truly experiencing the Akha way of life.
Day 2
Wake up early to explore the village, observe the daily routine of the Akha people, and enjoy a hearty breakfast to fuel your day. Our journey continues with a trek through the villagers' farmland, heading to Dara-Ung village, famous for its natural dyeing products. You'll have a hands-on experience as you join the Dara-Ung people, who have already collected materials for the natural dyeing process. A special lunch in Dara-Ung offers a taste of the region's culinary delights and a chance to bid farewell to your hosts.
