We visited two waterfalls and undertook a longer walk through forest and tall grassland. We saw monkeys, deer etc. I recommend this trip.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 527 reviews · 1 day · from $39

Review the Doi Inthanon and Pha Dok Siew day tour from Chiang Mai, with waterfalls, pagodas, hill villages, lunch, and practical hiking tips.

“It was good fun! Unfortunately a bit misty so didn’t get a view from the pavilions, but the national park and hike were very beautiful with scenic waterfalls. Very muddy and downhill, so make sure your shoes are sturdy and because of leeches it is a good idea to wear long trousers. Our guide did very well speaking in both English and Chinese, but was very hard to understand at times (I just about managed but some people’s first language wasn’t English).”

8.Doi inthanon National Park + 2Hour Fantastic Trekking with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 233 reviews · from $50

Review of Doi Inthanon’s trek, pagodas, Karen village, lunch, and waterfall, with practical advice on crowds, weather, fitness, and value.

“This trip makes for a great day out at the national park. We got a good hike round Kew Mae Pai (you don't need to be super athletic, but the first hour or so is uphill and will get your heart going). Some wonderful photo opportunities up there if the weather is good! Then on to the royal pagodas, which I appreciated more than I thought I would, a quick market visit, a really nice lunch, and then a visit to a Karon village for coffee. Our guide Chin made the day run really smoothly, adjusting to the weather and other situations as we went along. Recommended.”

Hike through Doi Suthep jungle, visit a Hmong village, then mountain bike downhill to Huay Tueng Thao on this demanding Chiang Mai day tour.

“Our guides T and Tony were amazing. They made sure to go as slow as the group needed to and provided instructions to help us navigate the trail. The hike and the mountain biking were exhilarating with lunch at the top and bottom of the mountain. I would rate this tour as pretty intense if you haven’t mountain biked before but our guides did a great job helping us learn”

Chiang Mai: 7-Hour Doi Suthep National Park Summit Hiking

12.7-Hour Doi Suthep National Park Summit Hiking

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 191 reviews · 7 hours · from $60

Review of Chiang Mai’s Doi Suthep summit hike, with monk trails, jungle trekking, Hmong village views, lunch, costs, and practical tips.

“The short hike around Montha Than Waterfalls was a great experience. With the haze and forest fires in season, our guides did the best they could to ensure we were still happy and satisfied with their service. They went all out in volunteering to be great photographers, engaging us with jokes and friendly banter, and never forgot to ask and suggest alternative activities they could substitute in, due to the haze and national park restrictions. Overall, I had a fulfilling and enjoyable tour. Million Thanks to A and Tony for their wonderful guide and service!”

Review of Chiang Mai’s Doi Inthanon day tour, with pagodas, waterfall, Karen village, rice fields, lunch, transport, costs, and practical tips.

“This trip was awesome! We loved all the stops and were extremely well guided and looked after by Piano/Porpia who was infectiously postive and enthusiastic. Her knowledge of each stop and the hill tribe was excellent and she did a great job of fostering camaraderie amongst our group! Her communication was also excellent including a check in on pickup location before she arrived. Our trip in February wasn’t cold at all (beautifully cool though) and lunch was delicious! Ample time at each stop was given, you won’t feel rushed on this tour. Would recommend for anyone visiting chiang mai without a car.”
