About this activity

Escape to Thailand's highest peak and most pristine national park, where cool mountain air and lush forests offer a refreshing contrast to lowland heat. This full-day excursion combines natural wonders—waterfalls, endemic birds, and panoramic summit views—with cultural landmarks including twin royal chedi and an ancient temple.

Explore the breathtaking beauty of Doi Intanon National Park, home to Thailand's highest peak. This tour takes you through lush landscapes, stunning waterfalls, and vibrant hill tribe villages.

Begin your adventure with a visit to the summit of Doi Intanon, where you can enjoy panoramic views and a refreshing climate. Marvel at the two iconic chedis, honoring the King and Queen, surrounded by meticulously maintained gardens.

Located south of Chiang Mai is one of the most fertile troves of natural treasure in Thailand, Doi Intanon National Park. The invigorating mountain air, the fresh, cool climate, makes it a rejuvenating break from the city. Doi Intanon, 8514 feet above sea level – the highest peak in Thailand, is probably the most preserved in Thailand.
