Activities

We can help you arrange for activities in the Soppong (Pang Mapha) area, including some very authentic trekking to the hill tribe villages and amazing adventure tours to world-class caves. The full-day caving trips are run by our friends at Cave Lodge. The experienced guides there also run guided white and black water (through Tham Lod cave) kayaking trips on the Lang and Khong Rivers. Click on our links for more details on these exceptional trips. The best time for kayaking is the wet season from around July to November, though some trips can run through to January.

Attractions

There are many Lisu and Lahu villages within an hour’s walk of the Inn. Most villages are also accessible by motorbike and car as well for easy access. There are several loop roads that pass a variety of villages and offer spectacular views. The mountain road that passes through Tham Lod Shan village, Ban Yappanair, Ban Mae Lana and Ban Jabo is particularly good. This route takes only a few hours and is well worth the effort. Day trekking to local villages or caves makes for a long day, but a hot shower and comfortable beds await you back at the Inn at the end of the day.

Attractions

Tham Nam Lod

Tham Lod is the premier attraction in Pang Mapha. This enormous river tunnel was carved over millions of years by the Nam Lang, the river that flows past the River Inn.
