Itinerary
Our first stop is one of the largest and the most beautiful waterfalls in the country, the Wachirathan Waterfall. Over 80 meters high, the power of this waterfall creates a refreshing mist that feeds the surrounding vegetation – giving you the most invigorating facial of your life!
Then we’ll head to the amazing Sirithan Waterfall. This stunning 50-meter cascade, fed by the Mae Klan River from Doi Inthanon’s peak, is perfectly hidden deep in the pine forest. Follow one of the many paths around the impressive and powerful body of water; enjoy the cool spray as you pursue closer views, maybe even a rainbow!
Next we’ll stop at the famous twin pagodas: the Napamatanee Don and Napaphon Bhumisiri. Built for the Royal King and Queen, they are located at the highest point in Thailand, enriched with beautiful flower gardens and Alpen Roses. After visiting the royal stupas, we’ll stop by a restaurant to refuel for lunch.
After lunch, we’ll burn off all that pad thai with a bit of “mini-hiking” at the Angka Nature Trail. The trail is a 360m platform walkway taking you through the mossy rocks of the cloud forest. We’ll then visit a Karen Tribe locale where we will learn a bit about the tribes people’s culture and way of life, as we explore their village of Sobhad. We will finish the day by mingling with the people of the Hmong Tribe in the upland market, browsing its wealth of fine textiles, exotic foods, and local handicrafts

We enjoyed our day so much! Adii was a wonderful and patient guide. The stops were the perfect length and she catered the tour based on our interest. My 20 year old daughter said it's was her favorite day in Thailand so far. The only caveat I would give had nothing to do with the tour/ operators. We came in August which is the rainy season so the Pagodas were so cloudy/ foggy, you couldn't see anything, but everything else was wonderful.
We where lucky to have James on our own. James is a very great guy and we liked him as our guide Recommend 100% James
We’re so glad James could share his expertise with you—his knowledge of Doi Inthanon made the trek feel both seamless and enriching. Knowing that someone can have such a positive experience is what makes our trips special—James’ guidance clearly resonated with you. We hope to welcome you back for more adventures in the future!
Had an amazing day with our guide Nanna and our driver Bank. Nanna was informative and entertaining and showed us all the highlights of this area of Thailand. We really felt we saw a different side of Thailand on this trip and it was great to see a mix of rainforest, waterfalls, monuments and local tribes in one trip.
Thank you, Odyssey672045, for sharing how Nanna’s storytelling brought the park’s hidden stories to life—we’re always eager to craft moments like that. Bank’s driving and our team’s local knowledge helped layer the rainforest, waterfalls, and cultural gems you described so vividly. It’s a joy to know our approach left you with such a memorable, well-rounded adventure!
Wonderful, packed-full day of unique experiences. Nana was the best guide we could have had: knowledgeable, kind, and so funny. Wish we could have her be our guide for every activity we did in Thailand!!
Thank you for giving us a 5-star review! We're thrilled to know that you had such a positive experience with us.
Great experience. Special thanks to our tour guide nana. She’s is so amazing.
Thank you for your kind words and 5-star rating. We're so happy to hear that you had a great experience with us.
Nana kind, carefully explained, in addition to the history of the dynasty, also shared a lot of plant and fruit history! It was a wonderful experience.
We're especially grateful for guests who appreciate the personal touch, and it sounds like our guide Nana truly made a lasting impression on you. Her attention to detail and willingness to share more than just the history of the park is what makes our tours truly special. We're always happy to hear that our guests have a wonderful time exploring Thailand's natural beauty!
Save your money. You spend 90% of the time in a van that handles poorly. First stop: Good scenery, but not worth it. They didn’t provide water as promised, only soda. Second stop: the guide explained nothing. By far the worst experience in Thailand. We felt ripped off. A completed wasted of time Disappointed with Civitatis. Never again.
We sincerely apologize that your tour fell short of expectations. We understand your frustration regarding the guide, vehicle comfort, and missing amenities, and we're sorry for wasting your time. We have placed both the driver and guide under formal investigation to address these service failures immediately. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Great tour with a very friendly guide and driver. Definitely worth doing, good day out with an early start but you get up to some cool stuff
It's wonderful to hear that our guide helped make your Doi Inthanon National Park Private Tour a memorable and enjoyable experience, especially with your early morning visit to the peak. Your kind words about our friendly guide and driver are greatly appreciated. We're so glad you felt the tour was worth it!
