The Ultimate Doi Inthanon Adventure

Day 1 Chiang Mai – Doi Inthanon

Spectacular waterfalls

Your guide and driver will meet you at the hotel at 0800 for your Doi Inthanon Adventure. This two-day tour features the two most beautiful but very different nature trails of Doi Inthanon National Park: Kew Mae Pan and Pha Dok Siew. Each of these trails take about two hours hiking, depending on your speed and the time we spend along the trail for taking pictures and enjoying nature. We will drive to Doi Inthanon National Park. First stop is the Mae Klang Waterfall.  We continue further into the national park. Next up is the spectacular Vachirathan Waterfall that is more popular. Next up is the Sirithan Waterfall. Also, this waterfall is often bypassed due to time constraints. We love this waterfall. It is only a short walk to the viewpoint. We continue to the summit of the highest mountain in Thailand.

Angkha and Pha Dok Siew Nature Trails

Near the summit, we will hike the short but beautiful Angkha Nature Trail. Next, We will visit the two chedis that were constructed in honour of his majesties King Bhumibol and Queen Sirikit. We enjoy a late lunch near the Park Headquarters. We will check into our accommodation for tonight, which is a lodge. You will have your private room with toilet. After having settled a bit, we take off for the Pha Dok Siew Waterfall trail. We will do this at the end of the afternoon because there will be few other people on this trail. We walk down along this beautiful waterfall until we hit the trail that will bring us to the Karen Village Ban Mae Klang Luang. Here we will meet the Karen people and will enjoy a cup of Ban Mae Klang Luang coffee.
We retire to our overnight homestay and have dinner.

Day 2 Doi Inthanon – Chiang Mai

Kew Mae Pan Nature Trail

This morning we will leave before daybreak to be on the trail early. It will allow us to enjoy the peace and serenity of Doi Inthanon National Park to the fullest and in as much privacy as possible. A local Hmong guide will accompany us. The Hmong have been calling the Doi Inthanon their home for a long time and they “own” the trail. The trail is not difficult to find. At times we trek through cloud forest that sometimes opens to stunning views of the national park. Doi Inthanon is often called the Roof of Thailand. During this hike, you will find out why, of course, depending on the weather. After our walk, we go for breakfast.

Royal Project Market and bamboo rafting

We will stop at the Hmong market where products of the Royal Project are for sale. We will visit the Royal Project site as well. You will learn why the Thai people loved their King. We will take a different route back to Chiang Mai. It is a scenic road that will take us to the Mae Wang valley, where we will have lunch. After lunch, it is time for an enjoyable trip by bamboo raft on the Mae Wang River. We will provide life jackets. Please wear them and have a look at our bamboo rafting policy.
After this, we will drive back to Chiang Mai after two unforgettable days in one of the most beautiful national parks of Thailand. We will drop you off at your hotel. It is the end of your Ultimate Doi Inthanon Adventure.
