“My first trekking experience with Rural Trail was filled with adventure, fun and many hands-on experiences. I had no idea what to expect initially. I was really hoping to get away from the city and relax and enjoy nature. My trip began with a trek through the woods, led by an amazing guide. One of the things that I was most impressed with was the villagers. We were met with smiles and showered with kindness throughout our stay. We stayed at a homestay that was run by the village leader. She made sure that our experience was authentic and that our needs were provided for. Her goal and the desire of each of the villagers was to preserve their heritage and teach others about the culture and customs that they group up with. We got to pick tea leaves and take part in the fermenting process. We ate incredible Thai food and stayed in cabins that overlooked the mountains. I really enjoyed this experience and hope to take part in other adventures!”
