Adult Group Holidays Moderate New Trip Walking & Trekking Mixed Activity Culture

A journey through northern Thailand with jungle adventures

p40b

Whether it's the gleaming golden spires of Bangkok's royal palaces or the night time sounds of the northern jungle, Thailand is a sensual land of lasting impressions. This journey takes us from teeming metropolis to the warm welcome of traditional hilltribe villages, from pristine jungle to the 'Bridge on the River Kwai', and from the sound of monkeys in the jungle to the swish of an elephant's tail. For a taste of the real Thailand, with a great balance of activities and history this trip is hard to beat.

RT TripWhat makes this trip responsible?

Tourism can be a real help to local communities, providing income, positive cultural exchanges and a financial incentive to protect their natural environment. Ours is a 'total approach' to responsible tourism, covering everything from the way we plan and operate our trips to the practices of Exodus as a company.
By trekking and spending the night amongst different hill tribes money is spent in the area benefiting the local community directly.
