Most authentic trekking experience When booking this trekking, I expected just another walking tour through some green areas and visiting commercial village. I couldn’t be more wrong. Kalu, our guide as it turned out was boned in a jungle village nearby, so he walked us through his wild path, that is not accessible normally. We’ve seen some amazing views with a lot of commentary from his side, as he knows that area by heart. Next we reached his home village and met his family to see how they are living, while he cooked himself (and gave free cooking class in the meantime) a delicious lunch from the ingredients from their own farm. Finally, we\'ve done a bamboo rafting through national park, which is a fantastic alternative to just relax and see the jungle from the inside. Kalu was one of the best guides I’ve met, and you can feel that money is not him primary motivation while doing this tour which makes it a truly amazing experience. I strongly recommend to anyone to spend 1 day on your time in Chiang Mai on that unforgettable trip. Kalu if you’re reading this: Cheers from Poland and see you next year.

The trekking with Kalu was a great experience. We are a group of 7 friends and we went for a Two day one night trekking. All of us enjoyed it very much. The attractions and activities on our way were all exceptional. What was actually unbelievable, we haven’t met any other tourists on our way. Kalu is a very professional guide and at the same time very positive and friendly person. The trip was perfectly organized. The food prepared by Kalu and his friends was another wonderful point of the trip. In Chiang Mai you can find a lot of different offers of trekking tours, many of them offering very similar program and costing less. But still we chose to do the trip with Kalu since it was supposed to be a private tour just for our group of friends, less commercial, in a more distant area. We would never have an opportunity to compare our tour with others but for sure we don’t regret choosing this one, it was really worth it and we recommend it to anyone who is looking for this kind of adventure.

Authentic tour The best and most authentic tour you can find. An incredible experience through the real nature of the villages in the jungle of northern Thailand. Kalu, and Lemon, have been the best guides: always friendly and available, they brought us into their own lands opening the doors of their homes to us. We will never forget this unbelievable and incomparable experience: if you don’t know Kalu yet, you have to do it! A bu jha!!!

Erstmal ein ganz großes Dankeschön an Kalu! Am Vorabend kam Kalu zu unserer Unterkunft und erklärte uns alles genau wie und wo und wann wir sein werden. Erste Fragen konnten geklart werden und ein erster sehr positiver Eindruck blieb. Ja und Kalu kam auf die Minute genau wie vereinbart! ( sorry da kommt das deutsch sein durch :D ) Die 3 Tage im Jungle bei den Karen und den Lahu tribes waren fantastisch. Kalu hat uns auf den Weg gleich die wichtigsten Worte beigebracht, somit konnten wir schon Hallo Dankeschön und auf wiedersehn sagen. Alle Leute waren total freundlich und wurden auch der 1000 Fragen nicht müde die wir zum Leben und zu Thailand stellten. Außerdem wurde jeden Abend ein sehr leckeres Abendessen serviert mit mehreren Gerichten. Dessert frisches Obst. Auch wenn es einmal geregnet hat wurde Kalus Laune nicht getrübt und wir spazierten froehlich vor uns hin mit selbst gemachten Regenhüten aus Bananenblättern. Jetzt vermisse ich schon den Jungle und seine freundlichen Gesichter.

As a mother of three children, I expected not the easiest part of our holidays, but Kalu made it jus magic. In a few seconds, he makes some hats, walking poles, gets some fruit out of the jungle an shows us animals we have never seen before! The kids really missed Kalu even months after our trip! Thank you for everything and we hope to come back soon! Mathilde

This is a once in a lifetime experience and what a pleasure to have Kalu as our guide. That made it so much more special. I can still hear his whistle and miss it. Kalu showed us some great places and great people in the tribes and we had great conversations. His English is really good. He made the night special with a surprise. The trekking was great, hard but most of all so fulfilling and full of spirit. Kalu teached me that I really can do a lot of things but also life lessons and values. This is not only a trekking, amazing food, see elephant (inlcuding a baby elephant still makes my day) and bambu rafting. This is a trekking full of wisdom, lessons and joy. Thank you so much Kalu.

Welcome to a \\\"short\\\" story describing my 2-day trekking through the jungle in Northern Thailand. I\\\'ll start by saying my guide was kalu. Kalu is 32 years old and was born in the jungle in the village of pong ngaeng belonging to the tribe tribe. There are 33 people currently living in it. A total of 3 villages inhabited by 2 different tribes. Residents speak in completely different languages than Thai. Kalu uses each of these languages and knows all the residents. The Jungle knows like his own pocket, because as a kid he went to school every day-2 H one way ???? on the first day of the morning he took me out of the hostel and we went beyond Chiang mai The first stop was a waterfall in the national park. Then we went to the hot springs, but in the pools, the water was so hot, it couldn\'t get in, literally hot. Another was geysers with water 90-100st. We\\\'ve already started a 4-hour walk through the jungle. I didn\'t expect it to be that heavy temperature 37 degrees, fleeting rain and high humidity gave us a hard time. As it turned out later, the phone showed me over 13 km with a difference of 213 floors ???? in every village, while I was resting, I left the kids spinery and keychains that I took with me from Poland when it comes to the jungle itself Then you had to watch out for snakes, so all the time on the orient twice I came across the path to the female big ptasznika of cocoon. Great views and sounds of the jungle like from the movie, they made an amazing impression on me. To the family village of Kalu, where we arrived, we arrived just before sundown. It is located above Maetaeng river in a very charming place. After a quick bath in the river, I was invited to cook dinner with the family. The Kitchen was also a dining room and a bedroom. Two ovens with big weevils, a flashlight on the head and we operate ???? after 20 minutes everything was ready. There was polish booze, green tea from the jungle and moonshine from rice made by father kalu - as they say happy water ???? in life I haven\'t eaten so good Thai food. Morning wake up at 8:00, breakfast with a view of the jungle, then walk around the village to hand out the rest of the presents to the kids. At 9:30 am, we started a 3-hour river rafting on the bamboo raft that father kalu made the day before. For 9 miles of runoff, you had to work hard with a stick to avoid boulders. Views Indescribable, snakes, buffalo cooling in the river. Still during the runoff carved machete for me a Bamboo cup for souvenir. After creek kalu drove me to Chiangmai and that was the end of the whole trekking. I recommend everyone getting out of the matrix and surviving something so amazing. No contact with the world. Just you, nature and local jungle dwellers.

Such an amazing experience! I did the one day trekking adventure with Kalu and loved it! The trekking was difficult at times but I hardly noticed because of kalus cheery attitude, random outbursts of song and A bu jha! We walked through the mountains to different villages and stopped to have a delicious lunch concluded with a fruit dessert with fruit from his family\'s farm. He himself grew up in the jungle so he was very knowledgeable of the jungle and able to answer any questions! Great English, great attitude! Would recommend to anyone!

There are a lot of jungle trekking to offer in ChiangMai so hard to choose one. I got this advise from a friend of me to book the amazing trekking tour and i\'m very happy with our decision. Most of our guide was supper. he came to our guest house the night before to explain the trip and what to take. During the trip he had a lot info on the area,nature and was a perfect organizer. the kids love him and we too. He has all about fun, telling jokes, making fun but teaching us and our children about how he grew up there and what a special about the jungle, the village etc. Although we did the same thing as other: hiking, elephant washing and swimming, bamboo rafting, i believe that with Kalu was authentic and off of the beaten path. We hardly see any other tourist. and the adventure washing elephant was a long lasting memory. Our Kids of 7 and 10 years was thinking this was the best part of our holiday. A without fifi and piza...

We had an amazing two days of trekking with a great guide who was always ready to answer all your questions and who could easily cope with my daughters’ continuous demands! After an intensive day of walking up and down the hills on the first day, we were heartily welcomed by Karen village people. The girls found it very interesting to be able to take part in preparing dinner, though that took some extra time! On day two we had another two hours of trekking and three and a half hours of bamboo rafting. Meeting, feeding and bathing the elephants was definitely one of the highlights! Kalu did a very good job, is a great guide and a gifted entertainer. Thanks to him (and his relatives and friends in the villages) we were very lucky to see a very beautiful side of Thailand! Thank you!
