Doi Luang Chiang Dao Trekking may be a new experience for you. In case you’re interested in it but you don’t know where to go, then here is your suggestion. The local guide will take you trekking in one of Thailand’s most beautiful national parks, the Pha Daeng National Park in Chiang Dao, Northern Chiang Mai province. Home to the 3rd highest mountain in Thailand, Doi Luang, 2225 meters above sea level. It has been originated mainly from limestones. It is believed that Doi Luang Chiang Dao was once a sea area.
