Doi Suthep Sunrise Tour with Monks – Chiang MaiExperiences and tours in Chiang Mai
Experience a unique morning in Chiang Mai by visiting the famous temple at sunrise, offering a serene and almost timeless atmosphere. Your guide will pick you up at 5.00 AM for a car journey to the top of Suthep Mountain, where you'll climb the 306 steps to reach the shimmering golden temple.
You'll have the opportunity to observe the monks during their morning prayers and learn more about the temple through your guide's explanations. Enjoy the tranquility of the place, capture exceptional photos, and witness the monks' procession at 7 AM as they collect their alms offered by the villagers.
After this enriching experience, head to Wat Palad, a temple nestled in the jungle, for a short walk. This peaceful and non-touristy spot offers beautiful statues and a zen atmosphere amidst nature.
A true oasis of serenity in the mountains!
Reviews
It is an early start, but the atmosphere at Doi Suthep is very different at this time of day. Few people, beautiful morning light and the monks at prayer. We had a very good morning with Arm.
We did this tour with Deffy, our French-speaking guide. It was very pleasant to discover the temple early in the morning, before many visitors arrived. Deffy explained the traditions and the morning prayers very clearly.
An early start, but definitely worth it. We were with Arm, who speaks very good English. Doi Suthep is much quieter at this time and we enjoyed seeing the monks during their morning prayers. A simple and pleasant visit.
