In the morning at approx. time 08.30 you are picked up by our local tour guide and driver from the hotel in Chiang Mai. You leave the city in southern direction and after about one hour drive you will reach the entrance of the national park.
Doi Inthanon is a very popular national park here in Thailand, famous for its picturesque waterfalls, walking trails, remote villages and viewpoints, sunrise/sunset watching. The park covers an area of 482 km² in the southern part of Chiang Mai province. With 2565 meters above sea level it is the highest peak of Thailand and therefore often also called “the roof of Thailand”.
Your first stop in the park will be at Vachirathan Waterfall, an impressive attraction. It is the second biggest falls on route to the summit of Doi Inhanon.
Further up the mountain and just a few km short of the peak you will visit the royal twin pagodas, from where you can enjoy a splendid panoramic view. The two pagodas were built to commemorate the late King and Queen’s 60th birthdays.
A bit later you will reach the peak of Doi Inthanon. Here go for a short walk on the Angka Nature Trail, a wooden boardwalk trail winding through evergreen forest with fern- and moss-covered trees.
Lunch break will be at a local restaurant on route.
Then it is time to descent from the summit, but not without stops at other interesting spots, such as at the Khun Klang Hmong Market, where Hmong hill tribe people sell their vegetables. The Hmong are involved at the nearby royal farming project.
Doi Inthanon is also home to some Karen hill tribe villages and if you wish to visit one, then our tour guide and driver is ready to serve you.
Finally in the late afternoon you will be back at your booked hotel in Chiang Mai.
