About this tour
Walk into Chiang Mai's jungle on a guided 1.6 km trek to a 10-metre waterfall, breaking halfway for a swim in the pool. Your guide identifies trees, plants and creatures as you move through the canopy. The full outing takes seven hours including transport from the city centre, with lunch and water provided. Return is the same route, though keen hikers can push further beyond the falls if energy permits.
Highlights
- Jungle trek through northern Thailand's dense forest
- Swimming hole at the base of the waterfall
- Local guide points out wildlife and plant life
- Lunch and snacks included in the day
- Free pickup from central Chiang Mai
- Option to extend beyond the falls for stronger walkers
What to expect
You'll start early with a vehicle pickup from your Chiang Mai accommodation, then head to the trailhead. The walk itself is straightforward but needs steady legs—bring swimming kit because you'll want to cool off in the pool beneath the falls. Your guide will talk through the jungle as you go, pointing out the ecosystem. You'll spend time swimming and resting before retracing your steps back to the vehicle. Expect humid conditions, muddy patches after rain, and a moderate pace suited to families with decent fitness levels.
Good to know
Wear trainers with grip for slippery sections and pack a towel. The 1.6 km walk is manageable but requires cardiovascular fitness; those with back problems or pregnancy should skip this. Start with breakfast—lunch comes partway through. Bring insect repellent and sunscreen.
