Doi Hua Mot at a Glance

About Doi Hua Mot

This hill, about 10km south of Umphang beside Highway 1090, is well worth visiting for its expansive views of the area. It stands at an elevation of almost 1,000 metres, and because the top is bare it affords fantastic views over the surrounding hills and valleys.

During the rainy season the hill is covered with a pinkish wildflower in bloom, which adds to the appeal of the scene. Whichever way you look, your eyes are met with pleasing vistas and very little sign of human habitation. Since it takes less than an hour to get there and back from Umphang, it is well worth checking out while in the area.
