Accommodation
The first night of this adventure feels like stepping back into prehistoric times when you find shelter in a jungle cave. We create our own sleeping area inside the cave with banana leaves and other jungle resources (please bring your own sleeping bag). Also you will learn from your guide how to survive with bare basics in the jungle, you never know when those skills might come in handy again!
Second night’s accommodation is in a basic bamboo hut with no electricity; here we have a few simple comforts such as outdoor toilet facilities (manual flushing), mosquito nets and blankets. We can wash in the river or take a bucket shower.

Day 1 : Hike through bamboo and rain forest to a cave for overnight in the jungle
08:00am pickup from your accommodation in Mae Hong Son town and 10 minute vehicle transfer to our starting point. Begin with a 10 minute cruise on a long-tail boat across the river. From there, we hike through traditional Shan gardens, continue uphill through the jungle and along the valley until we reach our lunch spot beside a waterfall; also a great opportunity to cool down with a swim. After lunch, we follow a relatively flat trail with bamboo forest and lush jungle either side. Eventually arrive at a cave which will be our shelter for the evening. Here you can assist your guide in cooking a jungle style meal and learn about the many uses of bamboo to create cooking utensils. Enjoy the evening by the campfire listening to the sounds of the jungle.
Please note: this overnight spot has no running water or bathroom facilities, a rugged jungle experience like no other!
(Meals: L, D)
Day 2 : Over a mountain range with views of Myanmar then overnight in local farmhouse
After breakfast, we continue on our adventure departing the cave for an uphill trek over the mountain range; from there we can see mountains in Myanmar and an area of previous conflict (now this area is safe). Hike down the mountain to our lunch spot to refuel and relax. From here, we hike undulating terrain continuing along the valley then through the jungle to another village. Tonight we will sleep in this rustic village in a local farmhouse. Your guide will cook traditional Shan food and you can bathe in the river.
(Meals: B, L, D)
Day 3 : Scenic countryside and mountain top view
Wake up to the village sounds and enjoy a freshly cooked breakfast. Begin today hiking alongside a valley full of rice fields, soy beans, and fruit orchards. We will pass more farmer’s homes along the way. Later in the morning, we enter the jungle and trek along the mountain ridge on undulating terrain. We gradually ascend up the mountain for a spectacular mountain top view. Whilst enjoying the view, we can refuel with a local style lunch in the midst of the jungle prepared by your guide. After the morning uphill climb, we hike down the mountain to a waterfall where we can have a refreshing swim. Continue hiking along a valley to a Red Karen Village with spectacular views of the area. This is the final destination of our adventure; from here we have a 20 minute vehicle transfer back to Mae Hong Son town.
