Details
Mae Hong son is known as one of the most secret provinces of Thailand. Even with the direct flight and twice bus service from Bangkok, the province is still difficult to reach. The province is hidden under the layer of mountain alpine, hill tribes villages, and the curvy road turns. Mae Hong Son is the hidden gem of Thailand for people who love mountains and the cold winter breeze.
Starting trip from Chiangmai, we're going to go on a four-days, three-nights backcountry hike the following day. During this four-day trip, we will witness one of the most breathtaking mountain vistas before making our way back to Chiang Mai on the final day.
