One day Doi Inthanon National Park
On this tour, you can cool off on Thailand’s highest peak while taking in the beautiful scenic Doi Inthanon National Park. Night-time temperatures on the peak can be as low as -8 degrees centigrade. In the cold/dry season, night-time frosts are common. Day time temperatures can be surprisingly cold so do not forget a long sleeve jumper. On the way up we will visit Wachiritharn Waterfalls, The King and Queen Chedi’s, (the best views across the park are found here), and then on to the peak of Doi Inthanon the highest mountain in Thailand. . Near the top, we will take the Angkha nature walk where you can walk amongst the unique flora and forest that grow at this altitude. There are both Karen and Hmong villages in the bounds of Doi Inthanon and we will see those at the local market on the way down the mountain before making our way back to Chiang Mai.
