In the peaceful valley of Mae Win, north of Chiang Mai, the Karen people have cultivated the land for generations with a deep respect for nature and sustainable living. This full-day immersion brings their way of life to life through hands-on farming activities in one of Northern Thailand's most authentic rural settings.
Learn about seasonal rice cultivation cycles and age-old agricultural techniques, then roll up your sleeves for hands-on activities: ploughing, planting, and rice transplanting in working fields. Feed water buffalo, a cornerstone of Karen rural life before mechanisation, and discover the community's traditional ecological knowledge, herbal practices, and deep connection to the land.
A rustic lunch is served in the rice fields, surrounded by open countryside, before the day concludes with time to unwind at a scenic waterfall nearby.
Hotel pickup is available from centrally located Chiang Mai hotels. This culturally rich full-day experience is suitable for all ages.
