Itinerary
Hotel pick-up & scenic drive
A private minivan and English-speaking guide collect you in Chiang Mai for the scenic climb up Doi Inthanon, gaining altitude as tropical lowland gives way to cool, misty highland forest.
Dok Siew Trail hike
Hike the cool cloud forest past 500-year-old trees, a hidden waterfall and the Dok Siew cliff, a forest lake and rice terraces, stopping at a Karen hill-tribe village to taste shade-grown coffee fresh from the source.
Lunch with rice-field views
Break for lunch at a restaurant set right among the terraced rice fields.
Summit & twin pagodas
At the summit, visit the twin royal pagodas — built by the Royal Thai Air Force for the King's and Queen's 60th birthdays — set among flower gardens and sweeping views above the clouds.
Cold-forest boardwalk
Walk the Ang Ka boardwalk through ancient, moss-draped cloud forest filled with rare highland plants and birdlife, then browse the hill-tribe market.
Wachirathan Waterfall
Finish at the mighty Wachirathan Waterfall, one of the park's most powerful cascades, often crowned with rainbows in the mist.
