Yogyakarta Cultural Tour: Borobudur Temple, Prambanan Temple and Merapi Volcano

Embark on an unforgettable adventure in the Mae Taeng district, just 90 minutes north of Chiang Mai, along the Trail to the Sea of Clouds, leading to one of Northern Thailand’s most striking peaks. The challenging ascent rewards hikers with sweeping 360° views and a breathtaking panorama of Doi Luang Chiang Dao, Thailand’s third-highest mountain. The route passes through a Musur hilltribe village, tranquil pine forests, and rugged mountain ridges, beginning with paths through farms and villages before entering dense forest. As the slope steepens, sections of scrambling over boulders test your endurance, culminating in a final exhilarating push to the summit, where you can soak in the spectacular Sea of Clouds and enjoy snacks and refreshments. The standard loop covers 10 km, with an optional 23 km route for seasoned hikers seeking an endurance challenge, while shorter or alternative routes are available for those preferring a less strenuous experience. This technically demanding trek is best suited for hikers with good fitness, offering a rewarding blend of cultural encounters, natural beauty, and physical adventure.
