Diya Luke, a contributor to the popular blog, Huffington Post, recently headed to Chiang Mai to see if treks being offered are authentic or staged experiences, and she landed a local guide, who led her into Doi Inthanon National Park to meet ethnic Karen who have resided there for 200 years.
In her entry, “A Minor Diversion: Hill Tribe Trekking In Chiang Mai”, Ms Luke delivers a real inside view of the Karen’s slow-paced lifestyle, and the land and nature they count on to survive.
