Description

Explore waterfalls, valleys, and jungles on a Doi Inthanon trekking tour from Chiang Mai. Hike to the highest point in Thailand, learn about the local flora and fauna, and stop to admire waterfalls.
After being picked up at 8am we will drive south for 2 hours to Doi Inthanon National Park and begin with a visit to the highest spot in Thailand and a short walk on the Ang Ka nature trail, a fascinating area with flora and fauna found nowhere else. From here we drive to the twin pagodas - another must see part of Doi Inthanon and a beautiful attraction with gardens, viewpoints and unique architecture.

The Doi Inthanon trekking tour begins with the help of a local Karen guide to explain the flora and fauna in the area as we walk the 5km trail through the jungle valley before descending into the village. The valley is dotted with beautiful waterfalls and is shaded by the forest canopy keeping you cool throughout the journey and you may hear one of the resident gibbons if you're very lucky. At certain times of year the rice paddies may be a verdant green, or shimmering gold and is a sight to behold. When we reach the Karen village we'll enjoy some local coffee and a tasty lunch and if you like, walk around the various handicraft homes in the village.

From here we begin our journey back to the city but one last waterfall awaits, we'll let you choose to see Wachirathan waterfall, or Mae Ya waterfall - both breathtakingly beautiful and the perfect way to end the tour. From here we drive the 1.5 hours back to Chiang Mai to conclude the Doi Inthanon trekking tour.
