Embark on an unforgettable adventure starting right from your hotel. Within 15 minutes, you’ll be on your way to the Shan village, where your trekking journey commences. The initial part of the trek involves a leisurely stroll along a forest shortcut, crossing a refreshing cool creek along the way. The path leads through the lush gardens and farms of the Shan people, who cultivate various vegetables and fruits both for their households and for sale in the town. This offers an excellent opportunity for trekkers to learn about local agricultural practices, including cultivation and harvesting techniques. As you delve deeper into the village, the terrain becomes more challenging, occasionally requiring uphill climbs. The landscape transforms into a dense forest, hosting an array of diverse plant species, with the bamboo forests providing soothing shade. Bamboo plays a crucial role in the villagers’ lives, serving as both a versatile cooking material and a building resource for simple houses. In the Mae Hong Son rural area, it is common to come across traditional houses constructed from bamboo with leafy roofs.
The next leg of the journey involves an ascent along a high and steep mountain, taking approximately an hour to reach its summit. From there, trekkers are treated to breathtaking vistas of the surrounding mountain ranges. A well-prepared lunch box awaits, providing sustenance to continue the adventure. After lunch, the trek leads to the Padong village, home to the Long-Necked Hill tribe. The Padong people have settled in Thailand for an extended period after seeking refuge from Myanmar. A fascinating aspect of their culture is the women’s distinctive tradition of wearing brass winding rings around their necks, giving them the “long-necked” appearance. Despite their conservative lifestyle, they have successfully preserved and passed down their unique customs and traditions through generations. Exploring the Long-Necked village provides insights into their intriguing lifestyle and culture. Once the visit is complete, a vehicle will be waiting to transport all trekkers back to Mae Hong Son town, where you will then be transferred back to your hotel, marking the end of this memorable adventure.
