Wat Chaloem Phra Kiat Phrachomklao Rachanusorn
วัดเฉลิมพระเกียรติพระจอมเกล้าราชานุสรณ์
A group of white stupas built on the summit of a rugged limestone peak that seems to float in the air. From the top you can look down over a valley filled with clouds.
Located in Chae Hom District, about 50 km north of Lampang, multiple small white stupas have been built on top of a steep limestone peak. From a distance they appear suspended in the sky, which is why it is known as the 'Temple in the Sky.' From the temple at the foot of the mountain, take a shared songthaew to the middle of the slope (about 30 baht). Then climb the steep stairs for about 20 to 30 minutes to reach the top. Some sections require climbing iron ladders, and the hike is physically demanding. Wear trousers that cover the knees. Women may not enter some of the stupa areas at the top. It is recommended to hire a car and combine the visit with Khun Chong National Park on the same day. In the cool season, you may encounter sea of clouds early in the morning.
