点评:Great hike up the Monks trail and on to Doi Suthep.
We got a grab from our hotel in Chiang Mai to the trail head, the trail head was easy to find and the drivers seem to know it well. The walk up to Wat Pha Lat was uphill but not overly steep, it took us about 45 minutes.
Wat Pha Lat is very scenic and there are some good photo opportunities.
We found it difficult to find the way to the next path up to Doi Suthep. From the path you entered the temple on, keep the water to your left and walk up, the path disappears and becomes an uphill hill mud track with step like foot holes. When you hit the road you must climb the road barrier, go left along the road and then take your first right back into the trees just before the waterfall.
We had read lots of worrying reviews about the next section of path and whilst they were accurate in their description it wasn’t quite as perilous as I expected. Id say that this path is ok and doable for competent hikers but only if you are fit! And I mean fit. It’s steep and muddy and hot (August) if you’re not fit / don’t like an adventure I’d take the red bus / pickup truck up to Doi Suthep instead. The track is just mud, not surfaced like the first one. There’s no trail signs but there was no opportunity to get lost as there’s no turn off points. If you take plenty of water, some good shoes and a hat you’ll have a great hike. We are quite fit and got a shift on because the weather was turning and it took us about 45 mins to get up.
Lovely temple and market to explore at the top. We got a red truck bus back to chiang mai gate for 100 bhat pp.
翻译:沿着僧侣小径徒步前往素帖山,感觉很棒。
我们从清迈的酒店搭车前往小径入口,小径入口很容易找到,司机似乎对它很熟悉。步行前往帕拉寺是上坡路,但不是太陡,我们花了大约 45 分钟。
帕拉寺风景优美,有很多不错的拍照机会。
我们发现很难找到通往素帖山的下一条路。从您进入寺庙的那条路开始,沿着左侧的水路向上走,这条路消失了,变成了一条上坡的泥路,上面有台阶状的脚坑。上路后,您必须爬过路障,沿着道路左转,然后在瀑布前的第一个路口右转回到树林里。
我们读过很多关于下一段路的令人担忧的评论,虽然他们的描述很准确,但并不像我想象的那么危险。我想说这条路对于有能力的徒步旅行者来说是可以的,但前提是你身体健康!我是说身体健康。这条路陡峭、泥泞、炎热(8 月),如果你身体不健康 / 不喜欢冒险,我会乘坐红色巴士 / 皮卡车前往素帖山。这条路只是泥泞的,不像第一条那样有路面。没有路标,但没有岔路口,所以不会迷路。如果你带上足够的水、一双好鞋和一顶帽子,你的徒步旅行会很愉快。我们身体很健康,因为天气转变而换班了,我们花了大约 45 分钟才爬上去。
山顶有可爱的寺庙和市场可以探索。我们乘坐红色卡车巴士返回清迈门,每人 100 泰铢。
