On this 8 day untouched Adventure, we will discover Thai culture in an original way, hike through the jungle and interact with majestic elephants. We will stay overnight at different Hill Tribe villages and experience their daily life. The simple way of life will inspire and renew you. We will balance staying at comfortable nature resorts with sharing a bamboo longhouse. Explore hidden jungle temples, cycle along rice fields, enjoy Thai Massage and learn Thai cooking at an organic farm.
You will be introduced to the therapeutic effects of Qigong and Yoga. We all need some inspiration and be reminded of the unlimited potential that we have inside of us, waiting to be explored. Once we connect within, we can restore our natural flow and happiness through healthy daily habits. You will return home with a personal exercise program for daily practice. We travel in small groups so we can take you off the beaten track. You can extend your trip with snorkelling and relaxing at Koh Chang island.

Day One: Welcome to Thailand! (D)
Our adventure begins in Chiang Mai. We will pick you up at the Chiang Mai airport and bring you to our lovely boutique hotel, where you can relax in the peaceful garden or by the pool after your long flight. Opening circle and briefing at our Thai Style Hotel. We will spend a relaxing evening enjoying a boat cruise on the River Ping as you dine on this enchanting river. This is an idyllic relaxing way to begin our Thai adventure, drifting past old temples and houses that lie on the river banks before we head home for a good night’s sleep!
Day 2: Jungle temples & hike to the waterfalls ( L)
After lunch, we will take a one hour hike in Doi Suthep National Park to visit a Buddhist Forest Temple on Doi Suthep Mountain with stunning views over the city. The temple is surrounded by rivers, waterfalls. You will get a short introduction to Buddhism. We will go for another hike to a small waterfall through the beautiful jungle, here is the ideal spot for your first introduction to Qigong - yoga. You will notice that a day started off with Qi-Yoga just feels different.
Day 3: Elephant Sanctuary & Jungle Trekking (L - D)
After breakfast we will set off on our 2-day jungle trek! We will spend the entire morning getting to know the elephants! We will spend time with the elephants, and join them in their daily routine. We will be able to learn more their natural behavior from the Karen Mahouts (elephant herders) that have been living with elephants for centuries. We will hike 2 - 3 hours (12 kms) each day through remote Hill Tribe villages (and yes, it is hilly) following jungle trails.
Our trekking guide knows the jungle like the back of their hands and will spoil you with his delicious jungle-made meals. We stay overnight in a simple Hill Tribe hut, and discover local customs and traditions of two different Hill Tribe villages. We leave our big packs in storage and take an overnight bag. Each person is required to be able to carry their own daypack and our porters will be carrying food supplies. For accommodation, We will all share a single sleeping room in a longhouse made of bamboo overlooking the stunning rice fields. Toilet and washing facilities are basic. Our “beds” will be made on raised sleeping platforms, using sleeping pads, with sleeping bags laid on top, surrounded by mosquito netting. In the evening, our local guides will regale you with stories around the campfire of their life in the jungle.
