MYSTIC WATERFALL :
Discover the hidden gem of southern Chiang Mai with the Mystic Waterfall 2-day, 1-night adventure. This journey takes you deep into the heart of Na Kian Village, Omkoi District, where life moves at a slower pace and nature surrounds every corner. Begin your escape with a scenic 6-hour drive from Chiang Mai city, passing rolling hills, lush forests, and traditional farming communities, setting the stage for an authentic rural experience.
Upon arrival, immerse yourself in village life: stay overnight in a traditional homestay, interact with welcoming locals, and witness daily routines that have been preserved for generations. Enjoy home-cooked meals and embrace the peaceful ambiance away from the crowds, making this an ideal cultural retreat.
On the second day, lace up your hiking boots for a 5-kilometer trek into dense tropical forests, following trails lined with towering trees. Your destination is the enchanting Huay Nam Yen Waterfall, a pristine cascade hidden deep within the forest. Marvel at the crystal-clear waters, listen to the soothing sounds of nature, and capture unforgettable photographs. After exploring and relaxing at the waterfall, retrace your steps back to the village and conclude your adventure with a scenic drive returning to Chiang Mai.
This program perfectly blends cultural immersion, nature exploration, and gentle adventure, offering travelers a rare opportunity to connect with both the people and the landscapes of northern Thailand.
