Enjoy a full-day nature walk in Doi Inthanon National Park. Nicknamed “the roof of Thailand,” this approximately 400-square mile reserve is composed of a variety of ecosystems, including cloud forests, jungles, grasslands, and, notably, Thailand’s highest mountain, from which the park takes its name.
We’ll drive to the park by van from our hotel, and begin a guided nature walk once we arrive. Expect to be walking uphill for some portions of our walk this morning—a leisurely descent will be our reward later on. Enjoy sights of some of the park’s highlights, including rushing waterfalls, as well as local flora and fauna. Then stop at a village inhabited by members of the local Karen hill tribe, where we’ll learn about the way of life in this community.
Next, we’ll enjoy lunch at a local restaurant, then continue our hike. One highlight of our walk is sure to be Wachirathan Waterfall, an approximately 130-foot cascade that crashes into a cooling mist which spreads across the jungle below.
