Why go, and how to do it well

Chiang Mai Footsteps Travel is a tour operator based in the Phra Sing area of Chiang Mai's Old City, specializing in small-group trekking and cultural experiences across the Chiang Mai region. While the company offers walking tours of the city, its multi-day jungle treks are a standout offering, taking travelers into the surrounding mountains for a combination of hiking, waterfall swimming, visits to Karen villages, elephant sanctuary experiences, and overnight stays in the jungle complete with communal meals and campfires.

Guides including Witoon, Toon, Chad, and Sammy receive consistent praise from visitors for their enthusiasm, attentiveness, and ability to create a welcoming group atmosphere. Treks are described as easy to moderate in difficulty, covering roughly 8 kilometers per day, making them accessible to reasonably fit travelers without requiring specialist experience. The multi-day format — with one and two-night options available — allows for a more immersive experience than standard day tours.

The office is open daily from 07:00 to 21:00, giving travelers flexibility to inquire or arrange bookings across most of the day. Booking in advance through the company website is advisable, particularly during the peak season between November and February when demand for trekking tours is highest. Prospective visitors should check the website for current tour options and pricing, and confirm any fitness or dietary requirements with the team ahead of departure.

Reviews from Google

We’ve just finished a 1 night and 2 day jungle trek in Chiang Mai - and wow, what an amazing experience! From start to finish the trek has been fantastic - our guides Toon and Chad were amazing and had so much knowledge about the jungle, and they were so much fun to be around. We got picked up from our hotel then taken to a little market where we could get drinks/snacks, then went on to start our trek. We walked to a beautiful waterfall where we stopped for lunch and had chance to swim, then continued walking to another waterfall where we had another chance to swim and relax. We then walked a few more kilometres to our camp for the night. The accommodation was very clean and had amazing views over the jungle! On the second day we started with a lovely breakfast of eggs and fruit, then continued our trek to another waterfall. After that we went to visit an elephant sanctuary, then had lunch followed by bamboo rafting. I can’t recommend this trip enough - it has been a highlight! Thank you so much for making it such a memorable trip!

3 Day, 2 Night Jungle Trekking Tour - This tour was amazing! Highlights include the elephant sanctuary and the incredible scenery. Many awesome waterfalls and nature sights to be seen. We were concerned that the trek might be difficult for our 12 year old but it was at a comfortable pace and the trails are very manageable. There are many opportunites to buy water along the way. The accomodations were rustic but very comfortable, and all the meals were great! Special thanks to our quide Witoon who made the experience very memorable, he was very friendly, funny and helpful and had many interesting insights about the area and wildlife.

We had an amazing trip with our guide Witoon! We went on the two-day hike and visited the Karen village, swam in lakes and waterfalls, had dinner together, a fire at night, and on the second day we went to the elephant sanctuary and rafted on bamboo floats. We had so much fun and made beautiful memories! Everyone should do this trip when coming to Chiang Mai! Thanks for Witoon for being such a funny and experienced company!
