DOI LUANG CHIANG DAO IN CHIANG DAO DISTRICT |
|
 |
|
| |
|
Doi Luang Chiang Dao is a limestone mountain in the Chiang Dao Wildlife Reserve area, Amphoe Chiang Dao. This cone-shaped mountain is 2,195 metres from sea level, which makes it the third highest mountain in Thailand after Doi Inthanon and Doi Pha Hom Pok. Narrow plains on top of the mountain overlook spectacular views that include a sea of fog on the Amphoe Chiang Dao side, Doi Sam Phi Nong, the Chiang Dao mountain range, and the far end of Doi Inthanon. The peak is cool and windy. There are interesting species of birds, but other forms of wildlife are hard to see due to years of hunting. The enclosed high valley is being left to recover after decades of opium cultivation by hill-tribes. The unusual ecosystem around the summit is particularly sensitive.
The entry to the sanctuary is restricted and permission must be obtained from the sanctuary headquarters near Wat Pa Bang.
Normal access is by a dirt road that goes to the Hmong village of Pakkia (H107. West turn 500 m. past KM.67 4WD. Right turn at checkpoint on ridge line (18 km.) to forestry station (4 km.) 5 hour hike to summit. Take warm gear, food, and water for two days. Campfires should be minimized to reduce disturbance to the unique environment near the summit.) |
