Do you want to connect with nature?

Do you want to learn the ancient wisdom of the tribe?

Want to relax in the forest?

Located in the Gaoshi tribe on the Hengchun Peninsula, after visiting with our tribal friends, we sought out the ancient wisdom of the Paiwan people in living in harmony with the mountains and forests. We have uniquely designed the "atevetevelji Paiwan Tribal Life Hunter Experience", which allows everyone to gather in the mountains and forests. This is not only a life experience of living with nature, but also hopes to continue the culture and natural ecology of Taiwan's tribes and give you the courage to make a change.

"Atevetevelji" is a Paiwan word meaning "to gather together." Let's meet in the forests of the Paiwan people on the Hengchun Peninsula, and experience life in the forest with our tribal friends and children.

The Paiwan people's ancestors embodied the wisdom of using bamboo to make their bowls, forest plants as toothpaste, and plants to create traps and slingshots. This wisdom stemmed from their understanding and interaction with the forest.

"Learning" involves learning to use forest plants to start a fire, and having a picnic in the forest with hunters and companions. The time we spend with our companions, even if the learning process isn't perfect, is still nourishment for future growth.

Why join Silv in the Tribal Forest?

When you arrive at the tribal forest, you can spend time with the tribal friends with a slow and gentle approach. The tribal friends will wholeheartedly welcome you and share the immersive life of the Paiwan tribe with you. We are not only visiting the tribe, but also using our five senses to create a wonderful memory of our journey.

Purchase Notice

[Registration Information]

[1. If you have any of the following chronic diseases, it is strongly recommended that you consult your attending physician first.]

Please do not travel if the following conditions occur before registration, whether you should have an evaluation or consult your attending physician.

"Cancer (malignant tumors), brain diseases, stroke, brain tumors, epilepsy, sclerosis, cardiovascular diseases such as endocarditis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, valvular heart disease (insufficiency, stenosis, prolapse), myasthenia gravis, respiratory diseases such as emphysema, bronchiectasis, pneumoconiosis, asthma, bronchitis, pneumothorax, pleurisy, and other chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and cerebrovascular diseases."

If you conceal any of the above-mentioned chronic diseases, poor health, or colds, and experience discomfort or accidents during the hiking activity, you will be fully responsible for the consequences. We will still assist in handling the situation, providing first aid, and calling for rescue.

2. Understanding outdoor weather changes

It's normal to encounter rain and strong winds during outdoor activities. In the summer afternoons, thunderstorms can start as early as 12:30 PM and end as late as 5 PM, often lasting for more than two hours at a time. Sometimes it can feel like a typhoon, which is quite normal, given our location in a tropical mountainous island. In winter, fog and drizzle are common in the northern mountains, which is also quite normal. Just be prepared with rain gear, waterproof measures, and an accepting attitude.

[3. The itinerary may be changed based on weather conditions and safety considerations.]

Due to afternoon thunderstorms or weather conditions caused by a typhoon accelerating or changing direction, our company reserves the right to adjust the activity time, change the itinerary, or terminate the activity on-site for safety reasons. We cannot provide prior notice before departure, which is also part of living in harmony with nature.

4. Understand that outdoor activities will be tiring, but you still have to keep going.

First of all, this is a group activity, so we will definitely take into account the physical condition of everyone and the weather conditions to ensure that everyone can complete the activity as much as possible. Therefore, the process may be different from what you expect, which is normal. So, the physical and health assessment beforehand is very important. After confirming that you are physically and healthily capable, you will need to continue even if you are tired. The guide's pace and planning are all for the safety of the team and the safe descent from the mountain, as well as taking into account weather factors. If you feel that you want to walk slowly and catch your breath and rest, please think carefully before registering.

5. You are responsible for any accidents that occur during outdoor activities.

Although this is a paid activity with a guide, you still need to take care of yourself and be fully responsible for the entire process of outdoor activities. This is because your thoughts and actions during the process are beyond the control or care of the guide, and accidents can happen in these areas. If you understand in advance that you need to take full responsibility for yourself, you will understand the need to prepare in advance so that you can "go out happily and return home safely".

6. Adhere to team schedules and guide instructions.

This is a group activity, so please respect each other who have registered for the activity. During the activity, everyone is a partner, so please take care of each other, respect and understand each other. Please also abide by the team's time schedule. Reasons for adhering to the team's time schedule include weather conditions, emergency situations of group members, etc. During the mountain climbing activity, please follow the guide's instructions and safety reminders, and pay attention to the guide's adjustments to the activity and walking speed due to weather conditions.

7. Prepare all necessary and suitable equipment.

The right gear for you is more important than the brand. Gear suitable for the weather conditions of the season is more important than any level of value. Please follow the gear pack we provide for your trip, check and inventory it, or consult us beforehand after registration for advice on how to prepare your gear.

8. Environmental protection and safety first

When engaging in outdoor activities, environmental protection and safety are equally important, and paramount. Environmental protection includes bringing anything that does not belong on the mountain down with you, including food, fruit peels, eggshells, etc. Please do not pour unfinished beverages on the mountain or in streams, and please do not smoke during outdoor activities.

9. You must have family or friends know that you are going outdoors today.

Even if it's a very easy and fairly safe mountain or outdoor activity that most people can climb, you should still inform your family or friends in advance about the schedule of your outdoor activity and inform them afterward.
