"Mulayit Taung" Trip, Karen State

“The mountain of faith, spectacular mist, and a sacred land you must visit once in a lifetime.”

Open the gateway to the western forest, crossing the border of Phop Phra District, Tak Province, to "Mulayit", the highest mountain peak in the DKBA Karen State territory (over 2,076 meters above sea level). This is not just an ordinary trekking trip, but a pilgrimage and an experience of natural wonder protected by the power of pure faith.
