Phra That Doi Nok Pagoda, Phayao Province

The Doi Nok Chedi is a sacred object of the people of Phayao and Lampang. It is located on the top of Doi Nok at an altitude of 1,694 meters above sea level. In addition to being a nature study trail for conquerors and hikers, this place is also a path based on the faith of those who have faith in the Doi Nok Chedi. Traveling up to the top of Doi Nok is not easy. It requires physical and mental strength to climb the steep mountain. At some points, there are slings to hold onto and there are officers taking close care of you. However, few people who reach the middle of the way will turn back because their faith and belief will lead them to the top of Doi Nok. The top of Doi Nok is considered the center of important sacred objects, such as the Doi Nok Chedi, the Buddha's footprint, Phra Wisutthep (the Buddha in nirvana). Every year, there is a tradition of walking up the mountain to bathe the footprint of the Doi Nok Chedi. It is considered another place to visit and worship and ask for blessings for oneself.
