[Chiang Mai Attractions Recommendation] Doi Inthanon Day Trip Itinerary | Thailand's Highest Peak + Twin Towers + Waterfall + Mountain Village Must-See Route

⛰️ Complete Guide to a Day Trip to Doi Inthanon, Chiang Mai's Highest Peak

Want to spend a day capturing waterfalls, seas of clouds, mossy forests, and twin pagodas? Doi Inthanon National Park, about a 1.5-2 hour drive from Chiang Mai, is the most classic nature route in Northern Thailand. If the season is right, you can also walk the Grand Scenic Trail to see the sea of ​​clouds and sunrise.

🌟 Must-see highlights

1) Twin Royal Pagodas and Gardens

The two pagodas were built to commemorate the King and Queen of Thailand. The circular garden offers a wide view, and on a clear day, one can see the surrounding peaks in the distance.

2) Kew Mae Pan Nature Trail (Seasonal Only)

The open mountain ridgeline and low rhododendron grass slopes are open from November 1 to May 31. A local guide must be hired at the entrance. The loop is approximately 2.5 kilometers.

3) Ang Ka Luang Moss Forest

The cloud forest at an altitude of nearly 2,500m features a cool, damp wooden boardwalk covered in moss, which takes only 20–30 minutes to walk around and is very beginner-friendly.

4) Waterfall Group (Wachirathan/Sirithan/Mae Klang)

There are several waterfalls to choose from along the way. The water flow is spectacular during peak season, but during the rainy season, be careful to avoid slipping and protect your camera from splashing water.
