We did a 3 day trip with Green Trails which included walking, rafting and some waterfall swimming. The guide Nareng was very friendly and knowledgeable and we found the company very flexible - they agreed to adapt 1 day to fit in specific places I wanted to visit, and during the trip we could say if we wanted to spend longer or shorter somewhere. We slept 2 nights in Karen villages, I expected to be more in a Karen home, mixing with a Karen family and joining in their activities, but we were instead in separate sleeping accommodation and didn't really have contact with any people in the villages. We could observe, but not really join in or chat with, despite the guide being able to translate.

We experienced the 4 days with the local guides Taksin, Pali and Son and the hospitable Karen people in the villages as very special. The tours were through nature, challenging but with good pacing, impressively beautiful and provided with a lot of information about all plants and animals by the guides. We enjoyed also the cooking, eating and drinking together in the communities in the evenings. Taksino was a great guide who speaks good English. He helped us through the days with empathy and humor. Give him our warm regards when you see him!
