A local guide leads you along the quiet Pah Dok Siew Nature Trail before an afternoon stop at Pha Chor, a canyon carved naturally into the landscape. 📋 Key Details Duration: About 8 hours Minimum age: 3 Group size: From 1 person, up to 15 Meeting point: Hotel pickup in Chiang Mai city Fitness: Easy walking pace; no hiking experience needed 🥾 What to Expect An early pickup gets you ahead of the bigger tour groups and onto the Pah Dok Siew Nature Trail while it is still quiet. Your guide leads a two hour walk through the jungle, pointing out plants and wildlife along the way, past a waterfall and through rice paddies with views many visitors on the standard route miss. Towards the end of the walk you stop for coffee grown and roasted by a local tribal community in their traditional way. Once the hike is finished, you board the transport again for the descent, heading to Pha Chor, a canyon shaped naturally by the elements rather than carved by hand. It is a clear contrast to the morning's jungle walk and a good spot for photos before heading back towards Chiang Mai. 📍 Location Doi Inthanon National Park sits in the highlands north of Chiang Mai and is home to Thailand's highest point. The Pah Dok Siew trail winds through forest, past a waterfall, and alongside rice terraces cultivated by local hill communities. Pha Chor lies within the same national park and is known locally as a small scale canyon, its layered rock and soil formations shaped by years of wind and rain rather than any built structure. ✅ Prerequisites Minimum age is 3. The trail is rated easy, with a gentle two hour walking pace suitable for most fitness levels, including families with younger children. Comfortable footwear is recommended throughout, and children should be supervised near the waterfall and canyon edges. No previous hiking experience is needed. 💛 Why Choose Us The early departure means a quieter trail rather than a crowded standard route, and the local guide brings knowledge of the plants, birdlife, and hill tribe culture along the way. Pairing the morning hike with an afternoon canyon visit gives you two very different Doi Inthanon landscapes in a single day, without needing a second booking or transfer plan. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Hotel pickup and return in Chiang Mai city centre Local guide for the Pah Dok Siew Nature Trail hike Guided visit to Pha Chor Canyon Traditional tribal coffee tasting ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point beyond the included hotel pickup and return Lunch and other meals Personal expenses and souvenirs Travel insurance Tips (optional) ### Kit list Comfortable walking shoes Water bottle Sunscreen and insect repellent Light rain jacket Camera ## FAQs ### Do I need hiking experience? No previous experience is needed. The Pah Dok Siew trail is rated easy and your guide sets a comfortable pace, stopping along the way to point out plants, birdlife, and viewpoints. If you are new to hiking, let your guide know at pickup so they can pace the walk to suit the group. ### What is the minimum age? The minimum age is 3. The trail suits families, though a two hour walk is still involved, so consider your child's stamina and interest in a longer outdoor walk. Younger children should be supervised closely, particularly near the waterfall and canyon edges. ### How fit do I need to be? The hike is rated easy with a gentle pace over about two hours, so a reasonable level of everyday fitness is enough. It is not a technical or strenuous route. If you have any mobility concerns, mention them when booking so the guide can advise on suitability. ### What should I bring? Comfortable walking shoes, a water bottle, sunscreen, and insect repellent are the essentials. A light rain jacket is worth packing in case of a shower on the mountain. A camera is recommended, as there are good photo opportunities at the waterfall, rice paddies, and Pha Chor Canyon. ### Where do we meet? Pickup is from your hotel in Chiang Mai city centre, so you do not need to make your own way to the national park. Share your hotel name after booking and be ready in reception at the confirmed 07:00 pickup time. ### How long does the day take? Plan for about 8 hours door to door, including the drive to and from Doi Inthanon, the two hour hike, the coffee stop, and the visit to Pha Chor Canyon. Timings can shift slightly with traffic and group pace on the trail. ### Is coffee included? Yes, a stop to try coffee grown and roasted by a local tribal community in their traditional way is included towards the end of the hike, giving you a genuine taste of how it is produced on a small scale. Lunch is not included on this trip, so eat before your 07:00 pickup or bring a snack to keep you going until you are back in Chiang Mai. ### What happens in bad weather? This is an outdoor trail activity, so weather can affect comfort underfoot, particularly near the waterfall. Light rain is often workable; heavier weather may mean a change of plan for safety. Pack a light rain layer and be prepared for muddy sections after recent rain. ### Can I book as a solo traveller? Yes, there is no minimum group size for this activity, so solo travellers are welcome to book without needing to find companions first. Groups can run up to 15 people, so depending on the date you may be joined by other travellers on the same early morning departure. ### Will I see wildlife? The trail passes through jungle where sightings such as birds, and occasionally animals like the white hand gibbon, are possible, though never guaranteed. Keep a respectful distance from any wildlife you spot and let your guide take the lead on interactions. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/74579087_2454262858144209_8314963918057373696_n-1.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
