Overnight Stay

We spend the night in a bamboo house in a Karen tribe village. You’ll have mattresses, mosquito nets, pillows, and blankets provided. The toilets and bathroom are located outside the room, but note that there is no toilet paper or towels.

In the village we do not have electricity and therefore you will not be able to charge your phone. I recommend that you fully charge your phone before going on the trip and bring a power bank.

On our bamboo raft, we have a sturdy tripod to hang our bags. We also provide a waterproof bag for your convenience, to protect your clothes and valuable items.

The river rafting on specially made bamboo rafts through the jungle is an exciting adventure. A combination of calm, slow floating water, and more wild white water. Swimming next to the raft is weather permitted.

All menu items are freshly prepared by the guides and homeowners, with some ingredients sourced from local villagers to support their income. If you’re vegetarian or have food allergies, please inform the guide right away.

We currently have two treks available.
Our first trek is easier and suitable for all the family. Our second option is for those who are more adventurous, and who want a moderately challenging trek.
