Horseback rides in the jungle - also suitable for non-riders
Get away from the hustle and bustle of Chiang Mai by exploring the jungles of northern Thailand. Travel on horseback through the picturesque and magical world of the mountain and jungle region in the Golden Triangle.
Our exclusive small-group tour (up to 4 people) can be booked here.
Let’s go!
We will pick you up at 8 a.m. from the “Three Kings Monument” in Chiang Mai. After a 45 minute drive we will reach our farm, located on the foothills of the Doi Thaen mountains. When we arrive at the farm, we will welcome you with a proper breakfast including homemade bread.
Once the horses are saddled, we’re ready to explore the jungle-covered mountain area. Our experienced stable-girls and -boys show you how easy and relaxed our Himalaya horses can be ridden. After a short while you can entirely focus on the fantastic vegetation and the sounds of nature.
Bamboo lunch in the jungle
Small trails and mountain passes will lead us to the most remote wild areas. These trails were originally used by trading Muang, Chinese and nomadic tribes. Around noon we will reach a stream running from the mountains – our stop for a break. A culinary journey into the past awaits you. We have a special jungle meal planned for you! Before the age of iron and steel people here cooked inside hollow bamboo instead of pots and pans. It is a real treat to see and taste this style of cooking in a natural setting.
For vegetarians and vegans we can prepare special meals. We also offer lactose-free options. Make sure to let us know about your preferences upon booking.
Untouched nature
After lunch we continue traveling through nature’s breathtaking beauty. As we pass through the jungle, we will see typical jungle plants and trees. You can spot teak trees, monkey wood trees, gigantic acacias as well as tall strangler figs.
Marks and tracks of the small asian wild boar are abundant in this region. With some luck we’ll get to see one. With some more luck we might even spot a family of monkeys in the trees – there are still some living in these forests.
