For everybody who enjoys trekking we can recommend the hill tribe tours organized by Khun Suthone.
Our tour started at 8 a.m. by bus which dropped us off at the starting point outside of Mae Hong Son. The only things you need are long trousers, long sleeved shirts, mosquito protection, water and of course some sweets for the hill tribe children.
Khun Suthone, an excellent cook, takes care of your food which is included in the trek. The first day is filled with a walk uphill right to the top of the mountain, which rewards you with a fantastic view over Mae Hong Son Province.
The way leads to a Karen hill tribe village where you receive a warm welcome from the hospitable villagers and accommodation for the night.
The next morning the tour starts again at 8 a.m. when you will travel further uphill to the Hmong Hill tribe village, here also your sweeties are very welcome by the hill tribe kids.
After stopping for a visit the way goes downhill with a break at a waterfall for refreshments and follows the riverbed back to the road. All in all it is an amazing adventure.
