CHIANG MAI - TREKKING - THE TRAIL OF THE MONKS WAT PALAD & WAT PRATAT DOI SUTHEP
CHIANG MAI - TREKKING - THE TRAIL OF THE MONKS WAT PALAD & WAT PRATAT DOI SUTHEP
Day 1
At 08:00 meeting with the guide and transfer to the starting point of this beautiful trek, often used by monks to reach the temples ...
The trail has a slight incline of medium difficulty and takes approximately 45 minutes from this point to Wat Pha Lat. Once you enter the path, you follow the trees wrapped in the orange cloth that the monks use to dress.
There are points where the trail itself becomes a picturesque scene filled with trees wrapped in orange. It's beautiful on its own, but once you meet some of the monks using the trail, the scene becomes something completely surreal and even enchanting. After about 45 minutes you will reach Wat Palad
Once in the temple, you will see that a 45 minute hike is nothing compared to what awaits you. It is difficult not to be amazed by the sight of the staircase adorned by two dragons that ends abruptly on the edge of the waterfall, not to be entranced by the serenity that this place emanates. Dragons, elephants and mystical creatures form an intrinsic part of the environment created by this temple. They mix the world with the otherworldly in a beautiful way.
The temple is well maintained, yet you can see how nature creeps and overflows in certain areas, making you feel almost in a forgotten land or time, surrounded only by the modesty and tranquility of the monks. True peace exists in this temple.
Wat Pha Lat, which means "Monastery on the sloping rock", was originally used as a resting place for people who went to pray at Doi Suthep. But once the road was built in 1935, making Doi Suthep much more accessible; Wat Pha Lat, in turn, became a monk's residence.
From here, the trek continues for another 90 minutes to the top of Doi Suthep, undoubtedly the most famous temple in Chiang Mai. This part of the route is more challenging, however, as it is steeper and longer.
Here you won't feel the serenity and peace of Wat Pha Lat, but this temple is worth seeing. Built in the early 19th century Buddhist, the beauty of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is marked by seven-headed snake statues flanking the stairs to the temple where a Chiang Saen-style golden pagoda is located and all of its exquisite architecture Lanna. The view of Chiang Mai from here is simply phenomenal.
Lunch is served in a local restaurant, the return to the hotel is scheduled at approximately 14:00. Time to relax in the hotel pool or for a walk in the town center, among the countless temples it hosts
We recommend:
