Chiang Mai Private Tour to Wat Umong

5 hours (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: English

Leave the busy streets of Chiang Mai behind on a private tour into the forested slopes of Doi Suthep with your own car and English speaking driver/guide. Begin at Wat Pha Lat, a peaceful temple hidden among the trees, known for its atmospheric stone structures and tranquil mountain setting.

Continue higher to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, Chiang Mai's iconic mountaintop temple, where golden Lanna architecture and sweeping views over the city make it one of northern Thailand's essential sights. Pause at a mountain viewpoint for views across Chiang Mai and the valley, weather permitting, then descend to Wat Umong, a centuries-old forest temple known for its brick meditation tunnels and shaded grounds.

The car is yours alone, so linger where you like or skip a stop. Your local driver/guide shares stories and tips along the way, and hotel pickup and drop-off means no traffic, no parking and no planning.
