Embark on a journey after breakfast to Doi Inthanon, the
highest summit in Thailand, situated south of Chiang Mai. As
part of the Himalayan Mountain range, this national park
boasts a lush environment, home to diverse bird species,
animals, and vibrant flora. Reach the misty summit and visit a
small Stupa containing the remains of Chao Inthawichayanon,
the last independent ruler of Chiang Mai.
Then, we will continue to explore the Ang-Kha Nature Trail,
discovering the beauty of Fern & Moss, and vibrant White
& Red Rhododendrons (blooming in Jan – Feb). Continue to
the Twin Pagodas, built by the Thai Air Force in honor of
their Majesties King and Queen. Visit the Hmong Tribal Market
on the descent, where locals trade an array of produce.
In the afternoon, drive through Baan Khun Klaang, the largest
Hmong community on Doi Inthanon, reaching the Royal’s Project
initiated by the King to deter hill tribes from growing Opium.
Explore the flower plantations and organic farmland. Descend
to the Karen hill tribe village at Baan Sop Had, concluding
the journey at Wachirathan Waterfall for a refreshing break
amid the pristine surroundings. After that, we will return to
Chiang Mai in the late afternoon.
Overnight in Chiang Mai.
