Discover the breathtaking beauty of Doi Inthanon National Park on a full-day journey to Thailand's highest mountain, where spectacular landscapes and rich cultural traditions come together. The adventure begins with a visit to the iconic Twin Royal Pagodas, built in honour of the King and Queen, offering sweeping panoramic views of mist-covered mountains, vibrant gardens, and the lush valleys that define northern Thailand's natural beauty.


The tour continues to the impressive Wachirathan Waterfall, where powerful streams plunge through dense tropical forest, creating one of the park's most photographed landmarks.

The trek offers an immersive experience of the park's remarkable biodiversity while remaining suitable for travelers with moderate fitness levels.

Here, visitors can meet members of the local community, explore handmade crafts, and discover products that reflect generations of mountain culture and craftsmanship, adding a meaningful cultural dimension to the day's adventure.


Designed for a seamless and enjoyable experience, the tour includes hotel pickup and drop-off from Chiang Mai city centre, national park admission fees, lunch, travel insurance, and the services of an English- or Chinese-speaking guide. Perfect for hikers, photographers, and culture enthusiasts alike, this full-day excursion delivers an unforgettable blend of trekking, sightseeing, and authentic local experiences in the heart of northern Thailand.

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.
