Mae Wang National Park – Two Day Trekking Adventure

🌿 Overview of Mae Wang National Park Trekking

The Mae Wang National Park Trekking route borders the famous Doi Inthanon National Park, yet feels far more secluded. Unlike crowded tourist trails, Mae Wang offers untouched rainforests, rolling hills, bamboo groves, and hidden waterfalls. This trek is designed for travelers seeking both adventure and tranquility, combining physical activity with immersion in local life. Wildlife, bird calls, and cool breezes accompany you along the trail, while every bend reveals new scenery—lush valleys, jungle streams, and mountain vistas.

🥾 Day 1 – Forest Trails & Waterfalls

Your first day on the Mae Wang National Park Trekking journey begins with a warm welcome from your Karen guides, members of the Maewin and Family team. Their deep knowledge ensures not only safety but also fascinating stories about the flora, fauna, and traditions of the area. Hiking through jungle paths, you’ll discover waterfalls perfect for bathing, bamboo forests, and shaded riverbanks. The highlight is reaching a secret jungle “beach,” where you can take a refreshing swim in crystal-clear waters surrounded by dense forest. This stop is a magical reward after a day’s hike.

🌙 Overnight Stay in Karen Village

As evening falls, you’ll reach a traditional Karen village. Your accommodation is a wooden and bamboo house, simple yet comfortable, overlooking the forested hills. Dinner is lovingly prepared by your host family—authentic Thai dishes cooked with fresh, local ingredients. After dinner, relax with your hosts, share stories, play games, or sit beneath a starlit sky. The hospitality of the Karen people adds soul to your Mae Wang National Park Trekking experience, making it more than just a hike. Early risers can catch the sunrise painting the mountains in soft hues—a moment of pure serenity.

🌄 Day 2 – Jungle Beach & Sunrise Views

Day two begins with birdsong and fresh mountain air. After breakfast, you’ll trek deeper into the park, visiting more hidden spots including rivers, waterfalls, and panoramic viewpoints. The jungle beach is a unique highlight—an unexpected sandy stretch hidden among trees, where you can dip your feet or cool off in the stream. By mid-afternoon, your trek concludes with memories of landscapes, laughter, and connections made along the way. You return to Chiang Mai with a sense of accomplishment and deep appreciation for Thailand’s natural beauty.

🤝 Karen Guides & Cultural Immersion

A standout feature of the Mae Wang National Park Trekking is being guided by Karen people who know the land intimately. Their knowledge of edible plants, wildlife tracks, and herbal remedies enriches your understanding of the environment. You’ll see firsthand how the community balances modern life with traditional practices. Sharing meals and stories offers a rare glimpse into everyday Karen culture, transforming this trek into a cultural exchange rather than just a physical journey.
