Highlights
Doi Chiang Dao mountain range lies to the North of Chiang Mai. The area is home to several ethnic hill-tribe villages. In the west the Mae Taeng river flows through scenic forests and valleys. This adventurous and strenuous mountain will take participants off the beaten track across the mountain range, down to the Mae Tang River valley on trails regularly used by villagers. Trekkers will enjoy scenic views from the mountain as a significant part of the hike is on the mountain ridges.
