This garden tour is aimed at high elevation tropical plants, which are very different from the plants you see in the valley. We combine a garden situation with the wild flora to introduce the guest to tropical biology and ecology.

The Phu Ping Palace
This is a royal palace situated on the majestic mountain Doi Pui/Doi Suthep (1676 m) which hovers above Chiang Mai. It contains a collection of high elevation plants, jungle species as well as roses. Please note that if a member of the royal family visits the palace on short notice, visitors are not allowed access to the gardens. If such a situation occurs, we exchange that visit with a visit to another garden or a jungle walk.
Doi Pui/Doi Suthep National Park
This national park has been inventoried since the first botanists came here in 1902-1904. In total, some 2200 plant species have been recorded from this mountain. We make an excursion to study typical indigenous species, with emphasis on trees.
