We are based in Chiang Mai, capital of northern Thailand and Thailands second biggest city (156 000 inhabitants and 300 Buddhist temples).
Chiang Mai was recently designated as the IT capital of Thailand and Greater Mekong region, what stands in stark contrast to the proximity of various hill tribes, just couple of hours drive to the Northern Mountains.

We are trying to make you come directly to us, avoiding all the tour organizers which normally step in-between, taking their cut, and mostly treating you like the tourist. We can make your stay in the region more personal, with insight into the local community, make you discover your own personal details for your own image and sensations bank.

We are very special trekking company (VSTC) with the social face.

We are organizing trekking tours in Phrao-Chiang Dao region.
This is nature preservation area, and is used for trekking only by us, being the region where we originally come from, so in a day of trekking you will meet (maybe) just one of our groups, following different itinerary.

We often use local hill tribes villagers as day-guides.
We often get requests for SELFDESIGNED TOURS, and the trekking in the area not used for years, we need local expertise and machetes to cut the way through jungle bushes. After this kind of tours we spend the last night in Pang Ho village (VST).
