Mountain views, trail, twin pagodas, Hmong market, & waterfall - Private tour to Doi Inthanon with many stops. I opted for 1.5 hr trail option. Just note that English speaking guide does not go with you but drops you off at the stops. So not an interactive, hold your hand experience. I actually prefer this style of do-on-your-own, so I really enjoyed this tour and I would book with this company again.

Amazing tour east guide - A huge thumbs up to Vich our tour east guide who collected us from the airport at Chiang Mai and arranged a day tour to Doi Inthanon National Park for us the following day. The trip was excellent and Vich felt like a mate, full of interesting information about what we were seeing and some colourful stories about his days at university in Australia. He really made the trip better than it already was and I would like to sincerely thank him for going that extra step
