Thailand – Trekking in the north

The charm of northern Thailand is proposed during a simple trekking which will allow you contact with the local community, and to get to know an authentic Thailand. The flavor of the tea prepared in the villages, the overnight stay in a local house, the visit of the village of Hmong, once famous for the cultivation of opium, and the view of the lush Thai nature during the treks, will be just some of the magical experiences that bring back with you.
