Hilltribe Trek – Day 1

We left the village this morning; a first a rough hour by E-Tan, then by foot. The first day of the trek was sold as the most strenuous day, the use of porters was recommended – however on the paper the distance was just 14 km, with an elevation gain of around 600 meters – so nothing to bad (at least compared to other treks I did so far); so I decided to carry my pack by myself (which turned out to be no problem at all…).

We had lunch next to a waterfall, before we continued on to Baan Huay San Lisaw, a village of the Lisu people – and our destination for the day.

After arrival in the Lisu village we (once more) had a guided walk around, followed by dinner and some local dance and music.
