Day 1
Welcome to Huay Pakoot
Your adventure begins in the village with a home-cooked lunch and a warm introduction to Karen culture. In the afternoon, you join a gibbon awareness session that sets the tone for the days ahead. The evening ends with a Karen cooking class and either a night hike or spontaneous karaoke night — a perfect start to the journey.
Day 2
a full day in the Forest
Sunrise brings your first gibbon encounter, followed by river hikes, forest skills, and meals cooked in bamboo. By evening you set up camp in gibbon territory and head out for a night walk beneath the stars.
Day 3
Morning Calls & Return Journey
You wake to the gibbons’ morning song, trek along river paths, and enjoy a final bamboo lunch before returning to the village and heading back to Chiang Mai with new stories to carry home.
