Full description
After being picked up in the morning from your hotel in Chiang Mai city, you will head towards your local hiking adventure. 2 hours after beginning your ascent, you will reach Wat Doi Suthep at the 1,100 meter mark. Here you will start to traverse through highland jungle and the old Hmong Hill Tribe Village near the summit of Doi Pui which you will reach after your 3rd hour. After a hearty lunch at the village and an approximate 1-hour climb, you will tackle the summit of Doi Pui peak. Here we get to enjoy 180 degrees views of the Mae Ping Valley. The trip will be completed by a climb with a 30-minute downhill stroll to the Doi Pui Camp grounds ,where your ride back awaits you. Refreshed with cold drinks and snacks, you will then head back to the comfort of Chiang Mai, but not before making a stop at Wat Suthep to marvel at this rich temple which was built centuries ago in 1383.

We (couple) were with one other couple. We were going to do the 6 hour hike and they were going mountain biking. Upon arrival at the office, they gave us the choice to combine hiking and mountain biking. In the end we hiked for ~3 hours, it was quite a climb but very beautiful and fun! However, we did not reach the top as the trip described. When we reached the village, where we had a delicious lunch, we went back down with the mountain bike. Good service, good safety measures (protection of wrists, knees and shins on top of the 'normal' protection). Definitely recommended for daredevils ;-). Great guides who guided us.

The short hike around Montha Than Waterfalls was a great experience. With the haze and forest fires in season, our guides did the best they could to ensure we were still happy and satisfied with their service. They went all out in volunteering to be great photographers, engaging us with jokes and friendly banter, and never forgot to ask and suggest alternative activities they could substitute in, due to the haze and national park restrictions. Overall, I had a fulfilling and enjoyable tour. Million Thanks to A and Tony for their wonderful guide and service!

Unfortunately it was burning season, so the original route was not allowed. Therefore an alternative route was created for us with some steep trekking, which was really fun. It was a really good workout, but a bit shorter compared to the original route. We got a private tour since no one else signed up. Our guide Danai gave us a really awesome experience and as a bonus he was also able to answer a lot of questions regarding Thailand and Chiang Mai. He also showed us where to find the some local markets and other interesting things to see while in Chiang Mai.
