--------------------------------

Engage with northern Thailand's rich tribal culture and spend time in a remote ethnic community. After a one-hour drive from Chiang Mai, you are welcomed at an eco-lodge surrounded by lush, green mountains. Learn about the community-based project here that aims to conserve the heritage of Chiang Mai’s ethnic minorities and hear a bit about everyday life in this typical Thai hill tribe. Take a stroll around the village, stopping at the temple for lovely views of the community’s herbal garden, and visit the Shaman’s house for an introduction to hill tribe curing rites and herbal medicines. Continue to a nearby tea plantation to try your hand at harvesting tea leaves with the resident tea pluckers and witness the traditional processing method. Sip aromatic Assam tea while enjoying a delicious lunch made with fresh ingredients from the garden and soak up the breathtaking countryside views.
