Dates    

    Our next tour will be in March 2027

     (We are in the process of updating the itinerary for this tour, and aim to have it ready for distribution towards the end of May.) 

     The itinerary for our March 2027 tour will be significantly different from our previous tours. 

     Previously, the tour itinerary included several days of cultural excursions in Chiang Mai before and after the orchid-trekking part of the holiday. For 2027, we are offering the orchid trekking part of the tour only. Our aim here is to significantly reduce the tour price compared to previous years, making it available to a wider range of enthusiasts.

     Another advantage of doing this - is that prospective members can now organise their own holiday in Chiang Mai before joining our tour. This enables members to choose their length of stay, grade of hotel, and select their own preffered cultural excursions.

     We will pick up participating members on a specific date, when our minibus will meet them at the various hotels that have been booked, and then take all the members to our base of operations further north for a five-night orchid adventure.

The itinerary

     The tour is based on seeing orchids growing and flowering in their natural wild habitat.

     Realising that members who have travelled to Thailand may also want the opportunity to see some of the country's other attractions, we also include some interesting local excursions between the trekking days.   

     These additional excursions, along with ample opportunity for souvenir shopping, and not forgetting the delicious local food, all add up to give you an exciting and enjoyable holiday. 

     We will be offering two separate orchid-related excursions, both of five nights duration. One to the north and one to the east. Hence, members have the option of joining us for one or both of the orchid expeditions.

     So, our tour now starts on the morning we pick you up from your hotel in Chiang Mai, and finishes when we take you back in the late afternoon, five days later.

Summary

     The tour is a compilation of the most rewarding days from all our previous tours.    

     You will be escorted throughout the tour. We aim to make everything as easy and comfortable as possible for you. All you have to do is enjoy yourself.   

     We have been conducting these specialised orchid tours for thirty years, and the experience and knowledge gained from the previous tours ensures that you will have an interesting and informative holiday, and of course, more importantly, see plenty of wild orchids in flower.

     Nothing compares to the experience of being there. The sights, sounds, and scents can only truly be appreciated by experiencing them, and for orchid growers, there is nothing quite like the excitement of trekking through a tropical forest and suddenly finding a beautiful, exotic orchid in full bloom. 

     A comprehensive tour information pack will be ready in late May, and can be sent to you by email. This will give you a lot more information about the tour, including a detailed day-to-day activity guide.
