Community-Based Trekking in Chiang Dao
Why Chiang Dao?
Chiang Dao, a district in northern Chiang Mai, is famous for its pristine forests, limestone mountains, and rich local culture. The highlight is Doi Luang Chiang Dao, Thailand’s third-highest peak, surrounded by lush biodiversity.
Community-based trekking here isn’t just about hiking—it’s about connecting with nature and learning from the local hill-tribe communities that still live close to the land.
