The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive hydrated

Bring a full water bottle; humidity and exertion during climbs dehydrate quickly—refill options may be limited on-site.

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy sneakers with good grip are required for ladders, platforms and uneven trail sections.

Mind the weight and age limits

Operators set a maximum weight (around 120kg) and age range—confirm these before booking to avoid last-minute refusal.

Choose morning slots

Early departures are cooler, less likely to be rained out, and better for bird and wildlife sightings.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Sky Walk platforms at dawn for passerine and hornbill sightings
  • Mae Sa Waterfall and the nearby botanical garden for a post-tour cool-down and local plant displays

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis)
  • Various tropical birds including hornbills and kingfishers

Conservation Note

Operators emphasize low-impact access and often support local stewardship programs; stick to platforms and trails, pack out waste and follow guide instructions to reduce disturbance.

The Chiang Mai area was the center of the Lanna Kingdom; surrounding forests were historically managed for teak and small-scale agriculture by local communities.
