This is a private tour. Over these 3 days we will get the chance test our rafting skills while bamboo rafting. We walk approximately 4-5 hours each day along sloping hills and valleys. We leave our big packs in storage in Chiang Mai and take an overnight bag. Each person is required to be able to carry their own pack as our porters will be carrying food.
The insider's opinion
The classic Huay Nam Dang Trekking was four days so this is a shortened version of the original program. We skip the last overnight in the Akha village. The national park is great for hiking. It is challenging sometimes, going up and down. Three days of immersion ending with still the best bamboo rafting in North Thailand. Great trip.
