Embark on a journey through Doi Pui National Park, starting 400 meters above Chiang Mai Zoo. The Monk Trail offers a serene ascent shaded by towering trees, providing a cool escape from the city's warmth.

Our experience begins with a gentle trek to Wat Pa Lat, gradually immersing you in the tranquil forest ambiance. As you ascend, the path transforms with natural "step-like" formations, where tree roots offer secure footing. Our knowledgeable guides enhance your journey with insights into local flora and fauna.

After two hours, reach Wat Suthep at 1,100 meters above sea level. This historic temple, dating back to 1383, offers panoramic valley views and a glimpse into early-day temple life.

Enjoy a light brunch at altitude, soaking in the spiritual tranquility before a leisurely descent or a thrilling 20-minute bike ride back to Chiang Mai.

Experience the Monk Trail's unique blend of natural beauty, an unmatched hiking adventure located so near to Chiang Mai.
