Full description
This is a experience from Chiang Mai, built around Mae Win, Hidden gem and Traditional village. It is run by Chiang Mai Footsteps Travel, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
Japan's outdoors is organised: trails are marked, mountain huts are booked, and the walking routes with history, the Nakasendo post road between Magome and Tsumago and the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage in Wakayama, are done in comfortable day stages with luggage forwarded. Cycling tours use the flat river paths and back streets that cars avoid. The summer heat from July to September makes early starts essential in the cities and lowlands, while the mountains are cool. Winter turns Hokkaido and Nagano into ski country from December to March, with the powder that Niseko and Hakuba are known for.
The price covers Round-trip transportation, Hotel pickup and drop-off, tour guide, Lunch and Accident insurance. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.
Hotel pickup in Chiang Mai. Chiang Mai Footsteps Travel confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Chiang Mai Footsteps Travel before treating your booking as final.

La excursion ha sido muy buena y el guia sammy es super majo, muy recomendable
Wij hebben genoten van deze trip met gids Witoon. Hij was heel grappig en heeft ons allerlei natuur dingen laten zien. De combinatie van wandelen, olifanten voeren en raften was super! De lunch was ook prima geregeld!
Elephant feeding and bathing was the highlight of our trip, would d highly recommend this tour, tour guides were excellent and made the trip fun
