Amazing Kayah Travel and Tours

Great experience! We did two tours with Amazing Kayah. Both were led by Maungko and were run extremely well. On the first tour we visited a Kayan village and then a Kayah village. This was really special as during each visit we were able to sit down with different villagers and have a genuine conversation. It's clear that the villagers don't meet a lot of tourists and they were just as interested to learn about us as we were to learn about them. We were also really greatful for how open and honest Maungko was about the various locations we visited: if it was highly touristic he would let us know. The second tour was much farther away and we visited a Kayaw village and also hiked to the summit of Kaw Ta Maw mountain, another amazing experience. Be warned wear proper hiking attire, there are leaches, slick rocks, and steep inclines on trail. We struggled a little at the beginning, but our local guide Ta So Ee, quickly fashioned us two walking sticks and the trail was much more manageable after that. All in all an unforgettable experience would love to do it again!

There guide for the village to see ring neck people was great, a very chilled chap with good English. Saw morning Market as well and he explained everything we wanted.

The trips were good but not exceptional, and prices are too high for the content of the trips. Although the organizer was OK to lower the price after we discussed it, I still believe the same trip can be made with an independent guide for much cheaper.
