Gibbon-spotting hike with local lunch and hidden trails in Mae Kampong
Looking for a meaningful experience in nature that goes beyond the typical tourist trail? This peaceful hike through Mae Kampong village includes the rare chance to spot rehabilitated gibbons in the wild, while supporting their caretakers at the same time. Unlike most visitors who just pass through Mae Kampong, you'll go deeper – hiking hidden trails, learning about local plants, and enjoying lunch with a view. While Mae Kampong can get busy, especially during peak season, the hiking paths here are usually empty – giving you a rare side of this charming village most people miss. It's perfect for nature lovers, wildlife enthusiasts, and conscious travellers who want an off-the-beaten-path adventure with a purpose. Sightings of gibbons aren't guaranteed, but your visit helps fund their care – and if you're lucky, you'll get to see them living freely in the jungle canopy, a rewarding moment that stays with you long after the hike ends.What to ExpectChance to spot rehabilitated gibbons in the jungle canopy – with caretakers on hand to help locate themWander through Mae Kampong village and quiet forest trails to a hidden waterfallLocal flora walk to learn about traditional plant uses in medicine and cookingCoffee break at a scenic café and a tasty lunch at a local rooftop-view restaurantSupport local communities and wildlife conservation with your visitRound-trip transfers from Chiang Mai included for a hassle-free dayGood to KnowGibbon sightings aren't guaranteed – they're wild animals – but part of your fee supports their care and habitatThe standard hike is gentle and approximately 2.5km, suitable for moderate fitness levelsSturdy shoes are recommended as the trail can be steep and uneven in partsThere's a more challenging 10km+ hike to Kew Fin available if you're up for a workout – just let your guide know in advanceLunch and light snacks are included, but bring cash if you'd like extra drinks or to tip your guideBest enjoyed during off-peak seasons if you prefer a quieter village experienceThe hike is a relaxed loop through shaded jungle and village paths, around 2.5km in total. While the pace is slow and relaxed, the terrain includes some steep and uneven sections – so sturdy walking shoes are strongly recommended. If you're more adventurous, there’s the option to take on a 10km+ hike to Kew Fin ridge – expect a more strenuous trek through dense forest with stunning hilltop views and possible wildlife sightings.
