Chiang Mai: Doi Suthep Temple and Waterfall by Songtaew Trio

Start your tour with a short ride on a local passenger vehicle called Songthaew to the Huay Kaew Waterfall, a tranquil escape just minutes from the city. Explore the lush greenery surrounding this cascading waterfall while walking along an easy-to-navigate nature trail. Next, visit the revered Wat Pha Lat, known as the "Monastery at the Sloping Rock." This secluded Buddhist temple is nestled in the forest and is acclaimed for its stunning backdrop and distinctive Lanna-style architecture, featuring intricate carvings and colorful murals. Explore the temple grounds and admire the natural surroundings, including waterfalls and meditation caves. Finally, head up the snaking road trekking up Suthep Mountain, where your last stop slowly emerges with every turn. Tucked away in the mountains at an elevation of 3465 feet (1056 meters), the 14th-century Wat Prathat Doi Suthep contains a holy relic of the Lord Buddha. The temple compound offers exhilarating views of Chiang Mai and its surroundings. At the end of your exploration of Doi Suthep, head back to the tour office where your tour ends.
