Full day tour 08.30 - 15.00 Hrs
Lying south of Chiang Mai, the granite mass of Doi Inthanon at 2,565 meters is the country's highest mountain. Designated as a national park, the splendid natural environment is habitat to a large species of birds, animals, flowers and local fauna. After a final steep climb, the summit is surprisingly flat though misty, cold and windy. A small chedi above the visitor's center contains the remains of Chao Inthawichayanon, who died in 1897, the last independent ruler of Chiang Mai before Lanna was incorporated in Siam. Some of the largest water -falls in the country are situated on this mountain. Local lunch is provided. (Warm jackets should be taken along on this trip)
