Really nice and beautiful tour! Very delicious lunch! Would really recommend. Not too hard, but the terrain is a bit unstable - but in a fun way

Nice hiking day at a remote hill
Very nice trip with guide Khun Sap. We had nice hike around and Khun Sap explained the different plants and we tried various leaves. Lunch was freshly cooked and we all got a fresh coffee or tea. The group of 6 was mixed and we all enjoined the day (27.12.2022)
Response from the operator: Thank you for your informative review. We are glad you liked all the activities on this well organized trekking trip. Have a great holiday in Thailand!

great experience
The tour was pleasant. A driver picked us up at the hotel and brought us to the start of the hike. The hike was very interesting. All along the tour, the guide explained us things about the vegetation and made us taste fruits and plants. The lunch was very good with the possibility to eat vegetarian. The hike is not very long, exactly what we were looking for.Thank you very much for the tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. It is indeed a great experience in this scenic mountain. We think our guides are the most important element of the trip. Wasn't it? Thanks for joining our adventure and have a great trip in Thailand.

Around a great day👍
It was one of our most beautiful experiences in Chiang Mai. Our guide told us all kinds of things about the forests and the animals that live there. In between there were snacks and a lunch. Afterwards we visited a village in the mountains where we had coffee from the region. It was a beautiful and unique experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you for joining this amazing trekking trip and sharing your experience. Our guides are always trying their best and the area is indeed scenic and interesting. Viele Dank.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
High Mountain Day Trek: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chiang Mai.
How much does High Mountain Day Trek cost?
+
Prices start at $1400 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Chiang Mai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does High Mountain Day Trek take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Chiang Mai is not rushed.
Is High Mountain Day Trek worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Chiang Mai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule High Mountain Day Trek?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is High Mountain Day Trek suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 8. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 7-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book High Mountain Day Trek?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Chiang Mai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Chiang Mai and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does High Mountain Day Trek start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Chiang Mai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Chiang Mai?
+
On Outty we rank every Chiang Mai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half-Day Thai Cooking Class at Organic Farm in Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai Elephant Sanctuary, Bamboo Rafting and Waterfall Tour, Full Day Thai Cooking at Farm (Chiang Mai). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Chiang Mai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Chiang Mai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
