A local Hmong guide will lead you through forest and open grasssland to scenic vistas high on the slopes of Doi Inthanon.
The trail starts in sun-dappled rainforest and you pass by a scenic watefall. Beyond this first section, the trail emerges into wind-swept open grassland – a sub-alpine meadow.
There is a viewpoint with grand vistas at the highest point of the trail (around 2,200m elevation). You then walk down along an escarpement with views to Mae Chaem district, with impressive Rhododendrums in the foreground.
You are rewarded with an elevated view of the Royal Pagodas, before returning to forest canopy for the final third of the trail. This last section descends and climbs through several re-entrant gullies.
Although only 3km in daistance, the circular hike takes about 2 hours. Exact time will vary based on fitness levels. The combination of altitude and trail gradient may make it difficult to breathe if you are not accustomed to this type of activity
