The first part of the trek is just outside the village from the temple. You will climb just a few kilometers under the trees. The mountainside can be slippery, so you would need good hiking shoes. The beginning can be quite rough, but doesn't last long. It is a good first warm-up! 

Once you have reached the top, you will go down to the other side, where you will enter crop fields area. You will pass between the trees, skirt the bed of a small river and arrive in the heart of the valley. Here you will have plenty of wild and fruit trees. Lemon and papaya trees can be seen, for example. 

 
The last part after the crops is a much wider, signposted path. It gradually joins the road south of the Samoeng loop. You are likely to meet locals who cultivate their land there. 

At the end of the trail, you will be driven back to our eco-stay. If you need a transfer back to Chiang Mai, we can add this service for you.
