The Khun Than mountain range of the
Doi Khun Than National Park forms a natural boundary
between Lamphun and Lampang provinces. The northern rail
line to Chiang Mai runs through the longest rail tunnel
in the country, which is 1352 metres long and takes five
minutes to traverse. The mountain has both virgin jungle
and pinery.
Many tourists choose to walk from the
Khun Than Station up the mountain a distance of about 7
kilometres. There are four rest areas on the way. Visitors
may also camp overnight but must provides for their own
food. The best time to take the trip is between November
and February when the weather is fine and cool.
