Doi Inthanon is an awesome spot for nature lovers, hikers, bird watchers, and cultural enthusiasts. The park offers a wide range of attractions from the highest peak in Thailand with unbeatable views, to beautiful waterfalls, exotic birds and fascinating hill tribe villages.

Doi Inthanon has only two official trails which can be walked in around 1.5 to 2 hours (each) of which one is closed during the rainy seasons but there is also a shorter trail near the summit, less than a kilometer long.

Squeezing in 2,565m of elevation within a span of 38km, combined with an average gradient of over 8.5%, it is by far the hardest climb I've done in my life. To put things into perspective, the world-renowned Taiwan Wuling KOM has an elevation of 3,275m over a span of 100km. I revere Doi Inthanon till this day.

Doi Inthanon is one of the most popular national parks in Thailand. It is famous for its waterfalls, few trails, remote villages, viewpoints, sunrise/sunset watching, birdwatching and the all year round cold weather on higher elevations. The main park entrance is about 70 km southwest from Chiang Mai city center.
