Day 1

Arrival, Cooking & Dance

Check in at 2:00 PM and take time to settle into your family homestay. At around 4:00 PM, head out for a walk through the rice fields and plantations to gather fresh vegetables for dinner alongside the Karen community.

From around 5:00 PM, learn to prepare traditional Karen dishes using the vegetables gathered earlier. Cook together with local hosts and sit down for a communal dinner — a warm and memorable experience.

At 7:00 PM, local schoolchildren perform a beautiful traditional Karen dance. After the performance, the evening is yours — relax, chat with locals, and enjoy the peaceful mountain atmosphere.
