⛰️ Doi Luang Chiang Dao alone isn't so bad 😊
⛰️ Doi Luang Chiang Dao alone is not so bad 😊
We drove past this mountain three years ago. We thought that one day we would climb to the top..
Today we came to see you 💚
Doi Luang Chiang Dao
Located in Chiang Dao District, Chiang Mai Province, it is 2,225 meters above sea level, the third highest in the country. The hiking trail is about 8.5 kilometers from the starting point of Den Ya Khat to Ang Slung (camping area).
The hike is not very difficult, but it is so far 😂 But the view along the way made us forget our tiredness for a while because it was so beautiful. 🍃
When we reached the camping area, we walked up to the top to watch the sunset. The atmosphere on the top of the mountain was sooooo good. The view of the mountains overlapping each other.
If we have the chance, we want everyone to go. As for us, we will definitely go back again 😊
We planned to go alone on this trip anyway.
But a senior wanted to try hiking seriously, so we invited him. In the end, we decided to go with him. But in the end, he said... "We registered in the wrong month. You have to go alone!!”
Me..: Sigh, are there really people like this? I'm speechless 🤦🏼♀️😂
Never mind, I can go alone 😎
Alright, this is my first time hiking alone without joining a trip. Let's see how it goes 😌
