tour description

Lying south of Chiang Mai, the granite mass of Doi Inthanon, 2500 metres above sea level and the highest peak in Thailand. Doi Inthanon is the tail of the Himalayan range and a national park. Here is a paradise for almost 400 species of birds along with many other animals, flora and faunas.

After a 2.5-hour drive arrive to the mountain and after a final steep climb, the summit is surprisingly flat though misty, cool and breezy. Walk to see a small Stupa containing the remains of Chao Inthawichayanon the last independent ruler of Chiang Mai who died in 1897 after yje Lanna Kingdom was combined to be a part of Siam. Enjoy exploring around Ang-Kha Nature Trail at the highest peak viewing beautiful Fern & Moss as well as White & Red Rhododendrons (bloom only during Jan - Feb). After visit the Twin Pagodas built by the Thai Air force in honour of their Majesties King and Queen for their 60th Birthday Anniversaries. A visitors' centre nearby contains tourist information both in Thai and English. On the way down we stop to shop at a Hmong Tribal Market.

Lunch will be served at a local restaurant and then drive through Baan Khun Klaang, the biggest Hmong community of Doi Inthanon heading to the Royal's Project initiated by his Majesty the King to stop the hill tribes from growing Opium. Enjoy walking around around and have the chance to take some pictures of beautiful flower plantations and the organic farmland inside the Project. Then head further down to the Karen Hill tribe village at Baan Sop Had. Before heading back to Chiang Mai we stop at Wachiratarn Waterfall. Relax and freshen up in the cool waters.
