Mae Wang Gorge Trail

Chiang Mai, Thailand

A hidden river gorge cutting through granite cliffs with natural pools, waterfalls, and technical rock scrambles through narrow passages.

About this place

This challenging gorge trek requires river crossings and scrambling over boulders, making it perfect for experienced hikers seeking adventure beyond typical tourist trails. The best time is during dry season (December-April) when water levels are manageable, but bring waterproof gear regardless. Local Karen villages offer homestays and can provide guides who know the safest routes through the more technical sections.
