Dawn in Chiang Mai feels immediate: tuk-tuks hum as the van pulls away, and within an hour the rice paddies give way to a green slope where the trail waits.

2 days (2–8 hours hiking total).
Moderate; you should be comfortable with sustained uphill walking and carrying a daypack.
Day one includes steady climbs and uneven terrain (moderate effort); day two is generally easier with shorter sections between stops.
You’ll sleep on a simple bed in a bamboo house with basic bedding and no electricity—expect communal facilities and local-style accommodations.
