Overview

What if one full day took you from Chiang Mai’s warm streets to Doi Inthanon’s waterfalls, cool summit, and highland villages? Travel privately with your own driver and skip the rush of a group tour as the mountain road leads you into Doi Inthanon National Park. Start at Mae Klang Waterfall, continue to Wachirathan Waterfall, then reach Thailand’s highest point for crisp air and photos. Visit the Twin Royal Pagodas and flower gardens, stop for lunch at your own expense, and explore Mae Klang Luang village, terraced rice fields, and Karen coffee before browsing the Hmong Market. Choose the guided option for local stories, or a private driver option to explore at your own pace. If Chiang Mai is on your trip, this private Doi Inthanon mountain escape is one you should not miss.
