CROSS COUNTRY / DOWNHILL

This ride includes an awesome 4 wheel drive tour up to a 5700 foot mountain across from the famous Doi Chiang Dao, the last tooth of the Himalayas. From here we ride straight down into the upper Mae Taeng Valley (2600 feet elevation) on hardly used fast dirt road. There are lots of steep downhill and plenty of beautiful views.

Once in the valley we experience single track winding up and down over numerous small hills through farm land and hill tribe villages. Finally we meet a dirt road again and work our way up over two medium size mountains. Then we get to enjoy another long winding down hill run, where again we can practice the art of downhill mountain biking.

Once in the valley, we ride through rice fields and hill tribe villages to the Mae Taeng River at the small village of Sopkai where our driver awaits us.

This is a very long day and beginners have to sit this one out. You should be in excellent shape and have ample biking experience. The natural beauty and hill tribe experience is astonishing, but comes with some physical sacrifice.
