This morning after breakfast we go for an exciting 2 and ½ hours of white water rafting to our camp site along the river bank. After lunch we raft and hike to another waterfall and return to the camp for dinner and the evening. (B,L,D).
Day 5,
Today we must use elephants to carry supplies and porter us across streams and marshes. This area is so remote it takes almost 2 days to get to the nearest road. There are no trails so your guides will cut their way through the jungle in some areas. To cross over a mountain range you can ride the elephants if you wish as the trail is almost straight up and down. The elephant need to use their elbows and knees in some places to get up the mountain. Lunch will be on the trail. Tonight will be camping again along a stream where everyone can clean up and swim. Dinner will be cooked for you here. You guides will have picked many vegetables and herbs from the jungle and other interesting food such as insects, fish and reptiles for you to try. (B,L,D)

This morning we join the guides in washing the elephants in the stream and breakfast before hiking for about 2 hours to our pick up point then return to Umphang to shower and lunch then on to Mae Sot for the evening bus back to Bangkok or Chiang Mai. (B,L,D))
