You will have a unique opportunity to explore the hills around the north of Chiang Mai, visiting several hilltribe villages, going down the rapids in a river on inflatable rafts, trekking through the forest on the elephant backs, biking on the dirt road through the jungle and hilly countryside, and walking on the steep woodlanded hills. Overnight stays at the Hmong Lodge with Western comfort offer hilltribe atmosphere. The lodge features barbeque/ camp-fire dinner and cultural presentations by Hmongs.
