Private: Akha Hill Tribe Experience

Travel to the Doi Mae Salong mountain range near Chiang Rai in northern Thailand and experience the life of the Akha hill tribe people in the community of Hloyo. Stay in a traditional house high on the mountain with spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. Learn how to speak some of the language of the Akha people and tour the community to see how they farm, what crops they grow, and what their hill tribe life is like. Learn how to cook traditional Akha dishes and enjoy eating them with your hosts at a traditional Khantoke dinner under the stars.

 

Get up early and watch the sun rise over the hills before enjoying an Akha crafts workshop, where you will be shown all the products made by the locals, including items made from woven bamboo, carved puppets, ornate items of brightly colored clothing and headwear, and intricate silver jewelry. Have a go at making a bracelet in the traditional Akha design and take it home as a souvenir of your hill tribe adventure.

 

This experience is a fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable insight into the lives of the friendly and smiling Akha Hill tribe people.
