Join us for Part 2, the descent from the summit of Doi Langka Noi, a majestic peak rising to approximately 1,740 meters above sea level in the Thep Sadet mountain range, located around 60 km from Chiang Mai city.

In this episode, Tai, Kumi, Aui, and I follow the anti-clockwise route that takes a varied terrain path down from the peak, navigating rocky outcrops and crossing many water courses. As we descend the steep mountain sides, albeit a little easier than the ascent to the summit, we are surrounded by cool mountain air and shrouded in drifting mists, with clouds sweeping across the ridge lines and wrapping the landscape in a mysterious veil.

This leg of the adventure covers a further 7km descent, offering breathtaking views, moments of stillness among the trees, and a true immersion in Northern Thailand’s natural beauty. The full hike is a 13.5km anti-clockwise circuit around the mountain range.

Whether you’re a trekking enthusiast or simply love misty mountain atmospheres, we invite you to experience this serene and awe-inspiring trail with us.
