I enjoyed doing this as a part of a tour group, after we had visited the Temple. I would have enjoyed it more if I was wearing the right footwear! Some rocks can be a bit slippery if it has rained recently. Not knowing I was going to be hiking during my vacation, I had on fashion sneakers rather than proper shoes with a strong grip. That aside, a truly beautiful trail. Lots to see!
Great wild trail and not as well maintained as the lower monk's trail. Would not recommend doing it after wet weather, the path could get muddy and slippery especially if you've weak legs or shoes without hard grips. Enjoy the hike and be careful!
As it seems closed I asked a passing monk, he said that if it does not rain you could take the path. Hope police doesn’t overrule his wisdom (the monk wandered on by the main road by the way). Path is steep and if untrained you possibly should not take it. Still funny, took me 55 minutes up, but actually much shorter then the road. Nice to have walked all the way up (first part regular monk trail to Wat Pha Lat) to Doi Suthep this way.
Nice moderate trail with some 45 degree angles incline . Lots of roots. The trail is solid but could get slippery when wet. You can do the first leg in about 30 minutes if you don't want to continue to the temple. No bathroom, rest areas , etc. it's a popular trail so you will see tourists abound.
I hiked the Doi Suthep Trail after completing the Monks Trail during the rainy season, and despite the mud, I managed to make it to the top! The hike is challenging with steep ascents and slippery spots, but the views and peaceful surroundings make it all worthwhile. Be aware there are plenty of mosquitoes, even in the rain, so come prepared. Reaching Wat Phra That Doi Suthep at the summit feels like a true accomplishment. As the Buddha said, "A disciplined mind brings happiness." This hike truly reflects that — it's tough, but staying focused and persevering through the challenges makes the reward at the top all the sweeter!
