Morning light slices across Chiang Mai’s old city walls as travelers step into a program that balances city temples, hill-tribe trails and low-impact river time. By day two the gilded roofs of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep glitter above a forested spine; by day three the Mae Wang valley opens into bamboo rafts and gentle elephant encounters where animals are led through streams for a calm bath rather than performance.
moderate.
4–5 days.
Suitable for travelers with basic fitness who can walk 2–4 miles on uneven trails and climb stairs at temples.
The itinerary specifies feeding and bathing at a Mae Wang camp that emphasizes respectful care rather than performance; follow guides’ rules and avoid programs that promote riding or forced tricks.
Walks are generally short and suitable for most fitness levels; expect uneven ground and occasional steps—Doi Inthanon sections can be more moderate in effort.
Entrance fees mentioned in the program and air-conditioned transfers are included; double-check pickup details when booking.
Bring modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees; a lightweight scarf or sarong is useful for quick coverage when entering temple grounds.
Chiang Mai was the capital of the Lanna Kingdom (13th–18th centuries); its temples and city walls reflect that regional heritage.
Doi Inthanon National Park enforces visitor limits on trails and waterfalls; choose operators that prioritize humane elephant care and minimal plastic use.
