Product Info

Doi Inthanon is the highest mountain in Thailand, standing at 2,565m above sea level. This is why it has earned the nickname 'The Roof of Thailand.' On this tour, you will get to walk across the roof of Thailand! 

Feel the majesty of nature as you stroll along the trail near the summit of Doi Inthanon. Breathtaking cliffs, refreshing waterfalls, and lush forests that soothe your eyes are waiting for you. As you walk along the Doi Inthanon trail, you will encounter massive terraced rice fields. Could these terraced fields actually be stairs built by giants to climb the mountain? And perhaps people simply planted crops on those steps, turning them into rice paddies. After passing these fascinating terraced fields, you will admire the Karen tribe village where the Hmong ethnic minority lives, bringing the tour to a close. 

If you are visiting Chiang Mai, take a trip to Doi Inthanon National Park, the highest mountain in Thailand, where you can fully experience the grandeur of nature!
