Overview

Spend the day hiking Mae Kampong’s deep green forest and quiet village route, listening for wild gibbons and chance to see, chasing waterfalls, and stopping for scenic coffee and lunch. Trek with a local guide and gibbon caretaker along quiet jungle trails, learning about native plants and their traditional uses. The highlight is a chance to spot (and definitely hear) wild gibbons in their natural habitat. Follow a secluded path through the village to a hidden waterfall, pause for coffee with panoramic village views, then enjoy a local lunch with vegetarian/vegan options. Ideal for active travelers; trails are uneven in places. Full-day trip with hotel pickup and drop-off in Chiang Mai. Join the trek, quiet forests and gibbon songs waiting.

Itinerary

  1. 1

    Stop 1

    Escape Chiang Mai for a full-day Mae Kampong trek through forest and water trails, gibbon habitats, hidden waterfalls, and slow village coffee stops. Leaving the old city behind, you climb into cool mountain air and enter a deep-green canopy of ferns, moss, and towering trees. With a local guide and dedicated gibbon caretaker, you follow quiet jungle paths while learning how villagers use native plants and herbs for food, healing, and daily life. The forest feels alive but never loud just birdsong, a cool breeze threading through the leaves, and your own footsteps. When gibbons are nearby, their calls ripple across the hills. You’ll often hear them long before you spot them swinging high in the trees, turning the trek into a gentle wildlife search rather than a crowded “show.”
