Introduction (1)

Your kids will love it as well

North Thailand is trekking country. It’s something most people, coming to this area, wish to try out. The reasons why it’s so attractive to trek here are many. The terrain is perfect for novice trekkers. You will get sweaty, but anybody with a normal fitness level can make it through. In no other way can you get as close to the everyday life of the many different hill tribes as by staying overnight in their villages. The scenery is world class and only by being a part of it will the sights and sounds stay in your memory forever. It will bring thoughts to your mind and maybe change your perceptions on quality of life itself. You will get to know your fellow trekkers very well and discover things about yourself you didn’t know were there. The trekking tour is lead by local track finders.

Introduction (2)

It’s clear that some degree of psychological strain will be placed upon you given the fact that we will be sleeping overnight in local villages. In general we will stay with the tribal chief since he has available space to accommodate us. The chief’s family prepares the meals and is done so on an open fireplace. The food is excellent when you think about where you are. The chief will thoughtfully make sure that there’s always a beer in the house when we’ve finished the stage of the day. The huts are build on stilts and has only a bouncing bamboo floor to offer but everybody will get a sleeping mat, a clean sleeping bag and a mosquito net. Generally we all sleep in the same room and you will soon hear the sounds of the night and find that it’s not always the domestic animals underneath the hut that snores the most.

How to prepare for trekking (3)

Wildness & Wellness

Everybody has brought or will require a small backpack. (Costs less than 20 USD. in the local marked). Everybody has packed a bag (not a suitcase) with hygienic articles, change of clothes and other things not strictly necessary during the trekking itself. This bag will be brought from sleeping spot to sleeping spot around our trekking route. The backpack you will carry yourself and it must contain the following: Water container, camera/film, flashlight, toilet paper, sun lotion, rain cape, blister bandage, one dry t-shirt and not much else. Your main luggage (suitcase) will be left in the hotel in Chiang Mai and we won’t see it again for the next 4 days! Trekking boots with a good fit is recommended but trainers with a solid rubber sole can barely replace trekking boats.
