- Location: Chiang Mai, Amphoe Mueang Chiang Mai
- Product code: PYPT00
On this tour, we take you to Doi Inthanon, also known as the ‘Roof of Thailand’, the highest point of the country at 2,565 meters above sea level.
Starting from Chiang Main, this full day tour features some of the most beautiful natural sights on the highest mountain in Northern Thailand. Visit an impressive waterfall, a hill tribe village, the stunning twin King and Queen Royal Pagodas and enjoy a relaxing nature trail walk before reaching the highest point of Thailand.
Doi Inthanon National Park features lush forests and diverse wildlife, including over 300 species of birds and several endangered mammals.
On the way up you will visit the King and Queen chedis, two beautiful pagodas that were built in honour of the former King and Queen of Thailand. These mirrored buildings sit atop the mountain and are surrounded by manicured flower gardens with jaw-dropping views of the valley below.
You will also visit the beautiful Wachirathan waterfall - one of the highlights of Doi Inthanon National Park and the most impressive of all the waterfalls in Chiang Mai province. Because of the incredible height, the waterfall creates a mist in the surrounding, making it a picturesque sight. Near the top we will make a short nature walk amongst the unique flora and forest that grows at this altitude and enjoy the scenery and sights along the easy walking trail.
We also visit the Karen village Baan Mae Klang Luang, named after the Mae Klang river. Nestled in the stunning mountainous setting of Doi Inthanon, this village is surrounded by brilliant green forests, lush rice terraces and verdant coffee fields.
In Mae Klang Luang, opium cultivation was the main source of income not too long ago, but nowadays the local population earns most of their income from farming, supplemented by tourism. Baan Mae Klang Luang is well-known for its coffee crop, and you can purchase a delicious cup locally.
In the afternoon we will be heading back to Chiang Mai where you will be dropped off at the meeting point.
