This 2-day, 1-night packaged tour is designed for adventurers who crave authenticity—offering a perfect blend of cycling through rice paddies, moderate trekking to remote villages, and sleeping in a traditional wooden bungalow.
From the moment you cross the mountain pass and look down into the patchwork valley of yellow rice terraces and stilt houses, you’ll feel the “cleaner atmosphere” of the Northwest. You won’t just be a spectator; you’ll join the locals for an evening of traditional Thai dance, sip authentic “Ruou Can” (rice wine), and feast on bamboo-cooked rice and BBQ. This is your chance to step into a world where life moves at the pace of the harvest.
