Description
Escape to Thailand's highest peak. Stand in a cool cloud forest, explore grand royal pagodas, and trek past jungle waterfalls with a local trekking guide on a carbon-neutral day trip.
Trade the bustling streets of Chiang Mai for the cool, misty peaks of Doi Inthanon National Park.
Doi Inthanon Summit: We’ll kick off the morning by driving up to the roof of Thailand. At 2,565 meters above sea level, you’ll step into a unique, moss-draped cloud forest where the mountain air stays refreshing all year round.
King and Queen Pagodas: Built to honor the royal family, these twin monuments feature terraced gardens that look out over the valley below. Take your time to wander the serene grounds and take in the panoramic mountain views before we head down for a local lunch break.
Pha Dok Siew Nature Trail: The afternoon belongs to the jungle, led by a local guide from the local Karen hill tribe. Your guide will share deep community knowledge of the forest, point out hidden wildlife, and lead you right past cascading waterfalls. By joining this trek, you are directly supporting community-based tourism and preserving local heritage.
