Northern Thailand – A Perfect Rejuvenating Sojourn in the Lap of Nature
The virgin forests, serpentine roads, countless waterfalls, breezy hikes through rugged hills, and far from being chaotic vibe of Northern Thailand promise an experience of a lifetime. The invigorating mountainside terrains of Northern Island shy away from the cacophony of beachside parties and tiring cityscapes.
Northern Thailand remains an untouched territory, especially for Indian tourists. Places like Chiang Mai and Pai not only present a majestic benediction of nature but help in reclaiming spiritual connection.

Chiang Mai – A Hike to Wat La Phat (Monk’s Trail)
Nature has beautifully taken over this hike and generously poured the best of its abundance. Wat La Phat is popularly known as “Monk’s Trail” and the hike through the pristine jungle takes you to a hidden temple deep in the forest. The temple is used by the monks to meditate and cut off from time to time from worldly chaos. The temple was built in the 13th century as a resting point for monks travelling to and from Doi Suthep Temple braving the mighty mountains. Stone figurines and traditional dragon gateway stairs welcome you to the temple.
Doi Inthanon National Park
The national park is home to the highest mountain range in Thailand. Doi Inthanon National Park is a gateway to numerous tribal villages co-existing in Harmony for decades. The Queen and King Pagodas seat just before the summit and were built to commemorate the 60th birth anniversary and honour King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit.
Ever heard of strong, aromatic Somsak coffee? On a hike to the Pah Dok Diew Trail through a village dominated by the Karen tribe, a freshly brewed Somsak coffee is quite the energy booster. As you walk along the mountain trail, witness the glory of nature, organic strawberry farms, and flourishing fields of Somsak coffee beans.
Pai Canyon
The geological magnificence of Pai Canyon is a tempting assault to the wandering eyes. The soul-soothing but a little intimating walk along the narrow ridge of the canyon is a dream for every sunset lover. The looming thrill of hiking along the ridges to witness the colour hues on the sky splattered by the setting sun is not to be missed.
Explore Tham Lod Cave on Bamboo Raft Ride
The idyllic sleepy village of Soppong is just 40km from Pai and getaway to exploring the offbeat Tham Lod Caves. The caves, once the habitat of our ancestors, leaves behind rock paintings and art from pre-historic times. Hire a guide to explore through the narrow water channels on bamboo rafts. The handsome limestone stalagmites and stalactites add a sense of mystery around the floating exploring inside the caves. The guides carry lanterns to show dark corners and crevices of the caves.
