Live the high life in Thailand with a full-day trip to Doi Inthanon, the country’s highest peak. The invigorating mountain air and cool climate provides the ultimate respite from the city. This spectacular peak that rises to 2,600 metres above sea level is a nature lover’s paradise of vast forests. The 19th century king Inthawichayanon fought to preserve this fertile, mossy terrain. After his death, his remains were placed in a summit-topping shrine and the mountain was renamed in his honour. Today it is the centrepiece of a national park. The mountain is home to almost 400 species of birds and the verdant upper slopes are covered in orchids and lichens. Keep your eyes open and maybe you will see a green-tailed sunbird or chestnut-crowned laughingthrush. This paradise is also the home to Hmong and Karen hill tribes, who cultivate terraced rice fields and greenhouses. See how the Karen people live with a visit to one of their villages. More natural wonders await at the picturesque waterfalls of Mae Kland and Wachiratharn. En route to the summit, you will visit two recent additions: two golden spires built by the Royal Thai Air Force to commemorate the 60th birthdays of the king and queen of Thailand. At the summit, visit the King Inthawitchyanon shrine before setting off on a short trek along Michael’s Trail, a platform walkway that weaves above a mossy bog. Be at one with nature like never before in this beguiling national park. Lunch will be served at a local restaurant.

This is a good tour to start off your stay in Chiang Mai by giving you an overview of our beautiful city with over 700 years of history. We take the winding road up the side of the hill overlooking the city to visit the most significant temple in Chiang Mai, the 600 year-old Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, which lies 3,500 feet above sea level. Inside you will find the symbol of the city, the copper-plated Chedi that is topped by a five-tier gold parasol, which contains relics of the Lord Buddha. From the terrace on a clear day, you will have a fine panoramic view of the entire city. Once you get there, that final climb up the 306 steps of the Naga staircase (a Thai mythological Dragon-headed serpent) will seem worth it! In the city we will see the King's glorious flower garden temple at Wat Saun Dok with a large central Stupa and Wat Chedi Louang which consists of an impressive Chedi, originally built in 1411 and Wat Pra Thard Doi Suthep (the most outstanding landmark of Chiang Mai 3,500 feet above sea level).
