Description complète
Haut dans les montagnes à l'est de Chiang Mai, le village de Mae Kampong se trouve enveloppé de brume et de forêt, ses maisons en bois reliées par des sentiers étroits au-dessus d'un ruisseau. Cette visite en petit groupe utilise le village comme base pour un véritable trek en forêt, avant d'atteindre le village lui-même, votre guide mène une courte randonnée à la recherche de gibbons qui ont été réintroduits dans ces forêts grâce à un projet de réhabilitation local.
Ce sont désormais de véritables animaux sauvages, libres d'errer, donc une observation n'est jamais garantie, mais la marche elle-même à travers la jungle intacte vaut la peine dans tous les cas, et une partie du prix de votre visite va directement aux soigneurs qui continuent de soutenir la sécurité et l'approvisionnement alimentaire des gibbons. Par la suite, vous traverserez le village de Mae Kampong, une communauté qui a conservé une grande partie de son mode de vie traditionnel, thé Miang fait maison, cascades cachées dans les collines, et habitants qui vivent ici depuis des générations. Le déjeuner est un repas familial du Nord thaïlandais, et la petite taille du groupe (plafonnée bas) garde la journée personnelle plutôt que de ressembler à une excursion en bus.

Programme détaillé
Your day starts with an 8am pickup from your hotel, followed by a scenic drive up into the mountains east of Chiang Mai. Once you reach the trailhead near Mae Kampong, your guide leads the group into the forest on foot — this is a real hike over uneven jungle terrain, so comfortable shoes matter here. The gibbons living in this stretch of forest were reintroduced through a rehabilitation project and are now fully wild, so your guide listens and watches for signs of the troop, though a sighting is never guaranteed.
By late morning you'll arrive in Mae Kampong itself, a mountain village that has resisted much of the change seen elsewhere in the region — wooden houses on stilts, a running stream through the center of the settlement, and locals still processing Miang tea leaves by hand. You'll have time to wander the narrow paths and see a small waterfall before sitting down to a home-cooked Northern Thai lunch. The drive back to Chiang Mai takes about 90 minutes, getting you back to your hotel by mid-afternoon.

Avis des voyageurs
We actually spotted a small troop of gibbons in the canopy, our guide was so excited and quiet the whole way so we wouldn't scare them off. Mae Kampong village afterward was gorgeous, felt like stepping back in time. Lunch was some of the best home-cooked Thai food we had all trip.
Small group of just 6 of us made the forest trek feel really personal. No gibbon sighting for us but the hike itself through untouched jungle was worth it. The village's wooden houses and stream running through the middle were beautiful.
Loved that a portion of the fee goes to the gibbon caretakers, felt good knowing we were supporting real conservation. Guide was knowledgeable about the reintroduction project and the village's tea-making traditions.
Genuinely challenging trek in parts, good shoes are a must. We heard the gibbons calling but didn't see them, guide said that happens sometimes. Village walk and lunch more than made up for it.
Such a refreshing change from the usual temple-hopping itinerary. Mae Kampong's waterfall and tea houses were a highlight, and our guide's stories about growing up in a similar mountain village added real depth.
We got lucky and saw the gibbons swinging through the trees, incredible moment. Small-group format meant we could actually ask questions throughout instead of just following a big crowd.
Beautiful mountain scenery throughout the day. The trek is genuinely physical so come prepared, but the village and lunch at the end were worth every step.
