Doi Inthanon National Park has lots of amazing variations in its lush geography and forest. It is home to rainforest, mixed forest, and pine forest.

Great tour, well worth it

5.00We had an amazing time in this tour, we've done a lot of things that you could easily need two separate tours to do (i.e. we've done both elephants and Doi Inthanon in one tour). We got a bit unlucky with the weather as there was no good visibility for the Pagodas but that's just luck. Our guide pajarito (birdie) was absolutely amazing and we were super impressed with his level of Spanish!
Doi Inthanon in sun and rain

4.00We had a great day despite some downpours and sprinkling rain. Our guide, Mark, was very friendly and kept us informed. He answered our questions. The driver was very skilled at driving theountainpus roads, but the van was a bit cramped with no leg room in the front row. The elephant sanctuary was a fun and informative experience. We got to feed the herd of females and stand close to them while they were feeding on corn and grass. We followed them to the river and helped wash them. We had a veg pad thai and fresh fruit lunch. The store at the highest point was very brief and then we went to the King and Quees pagoda. There were some interesting buddha relics with info in english and thai. The hike in Doi Inthanon was really good and by then the rain had stopped. A local woman guide joined us to point out some plants and wildlife along the way. It was steep at the beginning and at the end but not too taxing overall. We finished in a local cafe/ shop to taste coffees and teas. It was a good combination tour if you have 12 hours. The mountain temps were more pleasant than the heat in Chiang Mai in May.
Mr. Watt, the Guide, was exceptionally knowledgeable, professional and polite. Elephants sanctuary was the best.

5.00Really fun day trip, well organized. The pictures online don’t do the hike justice, very pretty and all downhill. The elephants were cute and fun to feed. The sanctuary seemed like they take quite good care of the elephants. The pagodas didn’t exactly look like I thought they would from photos online (in general not just from this tour), but still a beautiful place.
Great way to spend the day

5.00Great tour! Interacting with the elephants was definitely the highlight of the day for us. Lunch was good, guides were fantastic. The hike was longer that we expected, but we enjoyed it.
Outstanding

5.00Amazing experience for our whole family. It is a long day but that's what you would expect for a 3 in 1 day. Food was good at elephant sanctuary but more water during the day would have been better. Consider taking your own water too. Not as strenuous as you might imagine either... overall GREAT day
Great day in Chiang Mai

4.00Overall it was good. The best part was the experience with elephants and hiking. The temples at the top could not see the view with pollution. It takes away the charm. On the other hand quite expensive for what it is and you have to pay an entrance +.
First of all, it was two...

1.00First of all, it was two different language spoken group your (Spanish and English) and they forced us to seat in the back where we had car sick. The sitting was too narrow and broken.
