Hmong Hilltribe Lodge

Cradled in a scenic valley of the Suthep-Pui mountain range, Hmong Hilltribe Lodge offers guests a unique opportunity to experience traditional Hmong culture amidst striking natural beauty. Conveniently located in the Mae Rim district, just an hour's drive from Chiang Mai, our jungle lodge combines simplicity and style to create an environment of rustic elegance and serenity. With an elevation of 2,700 feet above mean sea level, the weather at Hmong Hilltribe Lodge is pleasantly mild and cool all year round.
We invite you to visit our lodge and the tribal communities nearby, where you can learn the intricate techniques of traditional Hmong embroidery, weaving and batik. Trekking tours to villages farther afield are led by our experienced guides, through exquisite jungle scenery rich with endemic plant and animal life, while closer to home, our expansive pool area and massage salas offer fabulous ways to unwind. Our Hmong neighbours from the village of Mae Khi also come to our lodge every evening to perform for our guests, communicating key aspects of Hmong culture through song, dance and rituals.
