What makes a hike unforgettable? The landscape? Yes. But also the people who walk beside you and the moments that surprise you along the way. This full-day Hiking at Ban Jabo experience offers exactly that.

Start your journey with a pickup from your hotel in Muang Mae Hong Son or Pai. After winding through highland roads, you’ll arrive at Ban Jabo, where your local Black Lahu guide greets you not as a customer, but as a guest.

Your hike begins through a teakwood forest—shaded, fresh, alive. This is part of the Mae Hong Son trekking adventure network of real, community-trodden paths. As you ascend, the forest opens to hidden clearings where herbs and wild fruits grow freely. It’s quiet, but never still.

Around midday, stop for lunch near a pigpen or scenic ridge—simple food, rich view, good stories. Continue your hike through rotational farmland and rice terraces that sweep the hillside in layers of green and gold.

Return to the village, not just to finish the trek, but to meet the people. Visit homes where bamboo is woven, clothes are stitched by hand, and traditional music is played from memory. This is not a tourist performance. This is Ban Jabo village, and you’re part of the story now.

Put your boots on the trail and your heart in the village. Hike Ban Jabo with those who know it best.
