Trekking into the jungle mountains

Trekking

 

Trekking tour in the morning: In the early morning departure with a cross-country vehicle to the foot of the jungle mountains, which surround Kyaing Tong (2 hour drive). Then the tempting trek through charming landscape begins (in the shade of the jungle trees along a good and broad path, easy uphill and downhill). Overall about 2 hours to the villages of Ann and Iquor (Akha).

Both villages are still very authentic, the people wear in their day-to-day life and - in the case of the Iquor - their silver sparkling traditional costumes. Plenty of time for making gentle contact with these very shy people, and maybe they will show you the "house of the ghosts" in the Ann-village, centre of the animism of these people and  their village. In the afternoon, after the 2-hour return drive to Kyaing Tong, we will show you the places of interest of the town, particularly impressive is the Buddha temple Maha Myat Muni. Overnight-stay.
