Trip Itinerary

After an overnight journey from Bangkok, we arrive at Mae Wa Luang in the early morning. The day begins with breakfast and time to freshen up while trekking gear is organised. Sleeping mats, drinking water, and packed lunches are distributed before heading into the mountains.

A 4WD transfer brings us to the trailhead, where the trek begins through forest paths that gradually rise toward open ridges and rolling grasslands. The trail alternates between gentle slopes and steeper stair sections, offering early glimpses of layered mountain scenery.

After lunch on the trail, the final stretch leads us to the Le Kha Dao campsite. Tents are set up near open ridgelines, with time to rest or explore the surrounding grasslands before sunset paints the mountains in warm golden light.

The evening is spent sharing dinner together, followed by quiet conversation and rest beneath the stars.

Trekking time: 3–4 hours
Overnight: Tent camping (Le Kha Dao)
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

The morning begins slowly at Le Kha Dao, with breakfast enjoyed among cool mountain air and sweeping views. After packing up camp, we set off toward Kari Pu, following ridgelines that rise and fall gently across open terrain.

The trail today is a rewarding ridge walk, offering uninterrupted views of surrounding peaks and valleys. Rolling hills and open grasslands create a sense of vastness, while occasional climbs add a moderate physical challenge.

A picnic lunch is enjoyed along the route before the final approach to Kari Pu campsite. By late afternoon, we arrive and settle in, with time to relax and take in the expansive sunset views from the ridge.

As night falls, dinner is shared at camp, followed by stargazing in near-complete darkness.

Trekking time: 5-6 hours
Overnight: Tent camping (Kari Pu)
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

An early optional walk offers sunrise views from near the campsite before breakfast and pack-down. We then continue the journey toward Jo Vale, trekking through ridges and open grasslands on a trail that feels increasingly remote.

By midday, we stop for lunch before completing the final approach to Jo Vale — a newly opened and pristine trekking area rarely visited by hikers. The campsite sits amid golden grasslands, with wide-open views in every direction.

The afternoon is free to explore, rest, or photograph the surrounding landscape. As evening approaches, we take a short hike to watch the sun set over rolling hills, before returning to camp for dinner.

The night is spent beneath a sky full of stars, one of the darkest and most peaceful settings of the entire trek.

Trekking time: 4-5 hours
Overnight: Tent camping (Jo Vale)
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

We wake early for sunrise, with the possibility of sea of mist drifting through the valleys below. After a light breakfast with coffee, we enjoy a final full meal together before packing up camp.

The descent begins toward Klui Luang and continues on to Mon Klui. The trail is mostly downhill, with some steep sections requiring careful footing as we make our way back toward civilisation.

Lunch is enjoyed near Mon Klui before a 4WD transfer returns us to Mae Wa Luang, where there is time to freshen up and reflect on the journey.

We depart for Bangkok in the afternoon, stopping for dinner along the way and arriving late in the evening with memories of remote ridges, golden grasslands, and nights spent under open skies.
