Doi Inthanon Full-Day Nature & Culture Tour

Leave Chiang Mai behind and spend a refreshing day exploring the natural and cultural highlights of Doi Inthanon National Park.
Your journey begins with a scenic drive from Chiang Mai to the summit of Doi Inthanon, Thailand’s highest mountain at 2,565 meters above sea level. Take a short, easy walk through the forest to reach the summit and enjoy the cool mountain atmosphere.
Continue to the Ang Ka Nature Trail, a peaceful boardwalk through a unique high-altitude forest covered in moss, ferns and lush vegetation.
Next, visit the impressive King and Queen Pagodas, surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens and spectacular mountain scenery.
After lunch, explore the Inthanon Hill Tribe Market, where you can find locally grown fruits and products from Royal Project communities.
Continue to Mae Klang Luang Karen Village for a freshly brewed cup of locally grown coffee and a short walk through the village.
The afternoon continues with visits to Sirithan Waterfall and Wachirathan Waterfall, two beautiful waterfalls surrounded by Doi Inthanon’s lush mountain forest.
After a full day of nature, culture and mountain scenery, relax on the drive back to Chiang Mai.
