More than just a music and arts festival, Shambhala In Your Heart is Chiang Mai’s legendary 10-day festival in the middle of the jungle, celebrating nature, creativity and community in Chiang Dao. With a clear, easygoing DIY ethos and no corporate sponsors, the event is organised by a dedicated group of artists, volunteers and old Japanese hippies (self-confessed!) who promise to always keep it pure, genuine and organic. If you missed it last year, this is your calling – and given it lasts over a week, there is little excuse not to pop your head in. Throughout the 10 days you’ll find a lot of time to chill, meet new people, join workshops, listen to music and simply be in nature. Phone signal is spotty, but everyone likes it that way.
Feb 6-15. B300 per day, B2,000 for 10 days. Tickets here. Chiang Dao Farm Stay. All day
