3 Trekking Routes Doi San Fah

We will pick you up from your hotel. A car takes us out of town and into the forest, uphill along a winding dirt road that is very steep in sections and takes a short drive of 30 kilometers from town.

At 920 meters above sea level, stop at the “San Fah” viewpoint. Standing on a high ridge and looking down into the valley, you are struck by the beauty of nature in this area. We take a deep breath of pure mountain air as the morning mists slowly rise.

Begin our hike on foot by ascending a steep hill, trekking up to 1,290 meters above sea level in about an hour, then strolling through the highland evergreen forest and trees nearby.

It takes 3–4 hours to walk up the mountain ridge and slope. A spectacularly distinct vision of the mountain landscape will be revealed. We stop for lunch on the way and do some jungle cooking.

Climbing up the hills via the tall trees, and then walking down for 3–4 hours, passing through watershed woods and seeing a variety of forest types, including hill evergreens, pine, palm, and bamboo forests.

Late in the afternoon, we exited the woods and arrived at a terraced rice field in a lowland valley. You’ll finish the trek around 4:30-5:00 pm and be driven back to Mae Hong Son.

This program combines elements from the “Trek 1 Day San Fah” route. We will start the program and repeat it in the morning.

In brief, we will pick you up from your hotel. We travel by car, and it is only approximately 30 kilometers from the town. Stop at the “San Fah” viewpoint and begin walking to the ridge, which will take about an hour.

We stop for lunch and do some jungle cooking along the route, then set off in the afternoon to trek down the hill through the lush forest and creek to the rice fields and villages.

Arrive at the village of Baan Hua Nam, where we stay overnight and homestay with the Karen family. In your free time, go for a walk, take a photo, and learn about their culture while doing so.

Our staff and your host family are preparing a delicious dinner for you. So, you can help us with cooking or take photos. Enjoy dinner in candlelight together.

Part 1

This morning, you’ll either get up at your usual hour or lie down and listen to the rooster crowing as you wait for breakfast to be served. Alternatively, engage in the villagers’ activities.

You can spend some time at a primary school while we pack our belongings and prepare for the trek. In two classrooms, they have about 15 kids. Have fun instructing them.

We’re ready to start our journey after breakfast. On your trip downhill, you’ll pass farmland and terraced paddy fields. We hiked along the creek at the bottom of a local route that led down to an evergreen forest. There will be various rivers to cross as you go through water.

Part 2

For this purpose, staff will be looking for a good location near the creek for a picnic lunch, boiling water in bamboo for coffee, and swimming in the clean natural water of the basin.

We exited the creek late in the afternoon and arrived at a terraced rice field in a lowland valley. The treks will be completed, and we will be driven back to Mae Hong Son by car.

Recap: Pick up from your hotel and drive to Doi San Fah Mountain, where you will begin trekking along a dirt road and footpath toward Karen Hill Tribe Village, where you will spend the night.

Today, you can choose your trekking route and the length of your walk. It is a trip itinerary that is adaptable.

1. Usually, it takes about 3 hours for us to visit an anonymous cave and then take some free time at the bamboo terrace.
2. Long route with 4-5 steps uphill and 1 hour between each step. This is a 5-hour long walk through beautiful natural surroundings.

In short, you wake up to the sound of birdsong. Visit the primary school and say your goodbyes to the host family over coffee and breakfast. Ready to begin our journey on one of the routes 1 or 2?

Morning:

A magnificent view and fresh air greet you each morning. You may feel strongly that you do not want to go back at all. Coffee and breakfast will be served. Lunch will be rice wrappers prepared by the staff.

And it’s time to say goodbye to the villagers. We’ll begin by walking to the peak of the mountain and then along a ridge.

Afternoon:

Along the trip, you’ll get a glimpse of the town. We will go down the hill to Nam Hu Creek at the bottom. It’s time to climb the rock. (This creek is for water supply, so there is no swimming.)

Continue crossing a small stream toward the town, where the trail ends, and then return to Mae Hong Son by car.
