Lisu Lodge, Northern Thailand - Explore & Book
"Hill treks and activity tours are 2-a-baht in Chiang Mai. But the ones run by Asian Oasis are a cut above the rest. Like their imitations, they offer 1- to 3-day combinations of trekking, paddy field visits, white water rafting, visits to hill tribes, cycle rides and cookery. But what sets them apart is their beautiful flagship lodge, Lisu Lodge, set in the lush countryside surrounding Chiang Mai. You can expect sunset drinks, tasty and lovingly cooked Thai food, woven walls and floors, mosquito nets and simple bathrooms. Why we chose this partner We liked their low-key approach, with limited group numbers (often only 4-6) There's an amazing range of activities on offer, from cycling around a peanut plantation to lurching across a river on a raft The obvious experience and professionalism of the guides, some of whom are native hilltribe villagers, means guests are welcomed as friends rather than as gawpers We were impressed by their commitment to eco and social issues" - Michael Cullen
