Chiang Mai: Doi Inthanon National Park Eco-Friendly Tour

/ August 4, 2026

1.Doi Inthanon National Park Eco-Friendly Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 6,667 reviews · 9 hours · from $46Our pick

Eco-friendly Doi Inthanon day trip from Chiang Mai with waterfall views, twin pagodas, nature trail walks, and hill tribe coffee culture.

“Our trip was incredible, knowledgeable and patient guide - thanks James. I’ve done a few of these and have always felt a bit weird being in a group gawping at native tribespeople in their homes but the money these excursions bring in helps them survive in the government assignment rainforest villages. Plus they sold us some coffee and we saw a golden orb spider so we were happy!”
