UNPLUG. RECONNECT.

Karen people have lived peacefully in the in the mountains for generations combining hunting, gathering and farming. On this trek you guides will teach you to return to indigenous roots and enjoy the simple pleasures of the jungle life. On this Chai Lai Sisters tour will experience what life is like without wifi, supermarkets, factory farms, and 7-Elevens on every corner.

““Many people live in a society where they don’t know how to make their own clothes make their own shelter or get their own food. Knowing how to meet your most basic needs leads to a sense of confidence and well-being or feeling more sabai. Also food from the jungle is good because it’s all organic!— Golo, Chai lai Sisters Guide
