The Ban Huay Kaew 2-Day Hill Trek offers more than a trail—it’s a passage through culture, forest, and tradition. Starting from Mae Hong Son Thailand, this two-day trek winds its way through lush hills, ending at a village rooted in the White Karen way of life. Each moment on this trail introduces you to the land and people in equal measure.

Day 1: Begins with a scenic drive beside the Pai River, continuing to the forest edge where your 5-hour trek starts. The path leads through fertile farmland, conservation zones, and creeks, each step filled with natural charm. A jungle-cooked lunch adds flavor to your journey before arriving in Ban Huay Kaew. Here, a Karen homestay and welcoming dinner cap your day.

Day 2: Transitions from trekking to storytelling. You’ll learn local skills—bamboo and wood crafts, herbal medicine, and textile weaving with natural dyes. You’ll also help cook a traditional Karen meal before sitting down to share it with your hosts. It’s a trek that leaves footprints not only on the trail, but in your memory.

This trekking in Mae Hong Son is an ode to nature, a journey where every moment resonates with quiet beauty and cultural authenticity.
