Explore the beautiful Chiang Dao National Park on this one day adventure with us! The trail that you will follow is fairly easy and extremely beautiful and along the way, you will get to experience tropical rainforest and learn about the flora and fauna of the jungle.

During the adventure, we also pay a visit to the intriguing Chiang Dao Cave and the nearby temples, we will visit a local hilltribe village and enjoy some hot mountain springs where you can soak your skin in the healthy natural minerals in the water.

We will also visit the unusual and beautiful Sticky Waterfalls (Nam Tok Bua Tong) in Sri Lanna National Park where your feet will actually stick to the limestone rock meaning that you can climb up the waterfall!

This one day trek is a great way to get out into the amazing countryside surrounding Chiang Mai! As the trail is fairly easy and there’s a lot of adventure included, it’s also the perfect day trip for families.

Transport and lunch included.

Why Book With Us?

Hi, I’m Nikki and I started South East Asia Backpacker in 2008 after my own first solo backpacking trip! My vision was to create a travel diary for everyone, a place for travellers to share their experiences from the road. After backpacking and writing about Southeast Asia for over 10 years, I saw the opportunity to provide backpackers with the kind of experiences that I’d treasured myself in the region! 

Today, there is so much choice, but there are a lot of poor-quality tours and companies that offer mediocre experiences with little care for the environment. I wanted to create a selection of the best tours and activities to help backpackers avoid scams and dodgy tour companies.

Today, I run this website with my partner, Dave, from Spain, where we live with our energetic two-year-old daughter, Evie. All of the bookable activities that you will find on this website have been vetted by a member of our team and we have a friendly relationship with the operator. There are real humans behind South East Asia Backpacker and we are passionate about sustainable travel and development in Southeast Asia.

We are committed to helping travellers at every stage of the journey and understand that plans can change which is why we offer a full discount on the deposit up to 48 hours before the start of your trip, no questions asked. We offer advice on flights, visas, itineraries, hostels, backpacks, packing and more!

If you have any questions about our business or any of the tours that we provide, feel free to contact me on Whatsapp.

    Trip with Pisak was great, although a very long ride.
