Gliding by kayak through the peaceful jungle river offers a refreshing escape into Northern Thailand's untouched nature. Surrounded by lush forest, clear flowing water, and the tranquil sounds of wildlife, every moment becomes a gentle adventure that combines relaxation, exploration, and the timeless beauty of Chiang Dao.

As you paddle downstream, you'll pass quiet rural villages where friendly locals continue their daily routines much as they have for generations. A warm smile or simple greeting from the river offers a genuine glimpse into the peaceful lifestyle of Chiang Dao, adding a meaningful cultural touch to your kayaking adventure.

As the river gently narrows, the journey becomes even more immersive, winding through peaceful forest corridors where nature feels close at hand. With a little luck, you may spot native birds, playful monkeys, and other local wildlife living freely along the riverbanks, making each kayaking trip a unique encounter with Chiang Dao's natural ecosystem.

	Program :
	07:20 AM: Pick up from your hotel in Chiang Mai.(Chiang Mai town only)   - Our driver will drive up 75 km north of Chiang Mai to the starting point which reveals a beautiful valley with orchards, rice, corn fields and rolling hills.   - The Chiang Dao mountain, the "last tooth of the Himalayas", sticks out like a giant fin. At 2225 meters high with its jagged and sharp peaks it cuts through the rest of the skyline and demands our attention.   - Ping river, here swift and twisty, flows vigorously in the shadow of the Chiang Dao mountain. Every turn seems to present itself for a new photo opportunity as we drift south across the valley.   - The river contours are demanding when the creek-like features force us to adhere to the river’s path. Great place to learn the tricks of the trade without the harsh consequences of a class 3 river.   - Life along the shores is at a relaxed pace, people here tend to natural resources. Living off the land has true meaning here. Is it crabs they are looking for as locals are snorkeling the river banks? We noticed the fisherman throwing the net waiting for a catch, and the farmers waving while taking a break from tending their lands along the river.   - The village of Chiang Dao is located nearby and we enjoy a hearty lunch by the river, after our well deserved break, we continue past villages and farmland towards the southern part of the valley.   - In the distance, we can already make out the hills that separate Chiang Dao from Mae Ngat valley. Our ground transportation awaits us for the ride back to Chiang Mai. 18:00 PM: We arrive at your hotel in Chiang-Mai.
