Three days in nature.

After spending two weeks in Chiang May in the city, we had a strong desire to get down to green. We let ourselves be drawn to a small village in the sweet name Umphang, near Myanmar border. Four years ago, we hesitated, but the children remained small for several days hiking ... All things come to those who wait!

We never imagined anything specific and we were incredibly surprised by the beauty of nature. We started rafting. From the first courses we were amazed. Soon, tiny waterfalls gave us rainbows. It Always a good show! The calcareous concretions formed fine. Sometimes a cliff overlooking us, sometimes we go in a straight. Passing through a narrow passage due to dense vegetation or from under a fallen tree there at the last rainy season, the diversity of the landscape was beautiful. Some were quick to remind us that it was not just a ride but also a technical sport. Thibault rowed by following the movements of Kai. We were surprised to get a river so wild! Kingfishers, herons, magpies and many others spent before we are hiding ...

After wearing it for five hours left, we followed a steep path into the forest. Progressing between beautiful big trees and huge clumps of bamboo, we're lulled by many birds. Kai, our Burmese guide (illegal!) Grew in the forest. He taught us a lot about the fauna and flora. We were good all five! Arriving at the entrance to the park to camp on a Saturday was tiring. We were the only ones! Tomorrow is a forest greener than we found. The shades of very dark to light created wonderful lights with the sun penetrated here and there ... Looking at the trees, a snake coiled around a sapling that we saw. We were able to leisure the detail with binoculars. The red-headed woodpecker has suffered the same fate ... The excitement was at its height the face of all these meetings. But what about the Tee Lo Su waterfall? Majestic, this is not an exaggeration! No, no, I assure you!

the afternoon, we again walked three or four hours along a river and across many other bridges on or over less precarious. Sometimes, the children had the feeling of being explorers. But the greatest gift we have Kai and Nam has probably been making musical instruments from bamboo. We have issued similar sound of the trumpet or the flute. We improvised a concert. The orchestra was rich with all the sounds of Mother Kind as the friction of bamboos, crackle of leaves underfoot, the whisper of those who fell and the singing of birds. One of them caught my attention with its wobbly ... We were thrilled. The pleasure of feeling alone is a luxury exhilarating! ... The reflection of an elephant in the water announced the approach of a Karen village. This is where we spent our second night.

In this dry season, rice is harvested. Villagers distilled rice wine at dawn ... The atmosphere is peaceful. Their four elephants they can carry heavy loads over difficult roads and occasional tourists like us! So we spent our last day on the back of an elephant. The children were given the chance to play ... mahout was a fabulous adventure!
