Hike to Doi Suthep

A few weeks ago we hiked up Doi Suthep,  the mountain that we see from our living room window. The trail first passes through Wat Sakithaka, a Buddhist temple that is surrounded by the forest.

 

At the top of the mountain sits Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. The hike up was 4 miles with a 2300ft climb, but the Wat was overcrowded with tourist so we didn’t linger.

 

We stopped by a little waterfall on the hike back down the mountain.
