Mountain Trails Adventure

Ardo is an Akha local who grew up in a small village tucked into the hills north of Chiang Mai. His childhood was spent among rice paddies and close-knit communities, where local festivals were a big part of life. Over the years, he explored the region’s hidden trails and neighbouring hill tribe cultures, always looking for ways to connect more deeply with his roots. When he couldn’t find a tour that truly reflected the spirit of these places, he started his own. Now, Ardo shares his home and heritage through treks that feel personal and authentic. He’s thoughtful about sustainability and respects the communities he visits, making sure every guest walks away with more than just photos.
