Ang Ka Luang, Chiang Mai

This trail was planned and designed by Michael MacMilan Walls, a Canadian zoologist and regular volunteer at Doi Inthanon National Park. The path is around 1,800 metres in length and runs through marshland in the depths of a valley. The notable points are the area’s evergreen hills with warm and tropical climate plant life, the accumulation of algae, moss and other organic matter on the tree branches and trunks and the appearance of Sphagnum Moss, a type of moss which thrives in balanced, abundant conditions at heights of over 2,000 metres obove sea level and requires cool, moist conditions to grow.
