A perfect introduction to off road mountain biking, the route goes through Doi Suthep national park, climaxing with fantastic views of the Mae Ping Valley.
Lasting half a day with approximately three hours of biking, the tour encompasses both downhill and up hill country ridding. Expect challenging encounters with dirt roads with ruts, rock gardens, mud and sand traps and some steep down hills sessions.

This first part of the trip helps us to evaluate your riding ability and we talk about techniques to make your downhill cycling even more enjoyable. Everyone is encouraged to practice the newly learned techniques. The trail leads straight down the mountain with at times steep downhill riding, Absolute no lengthy up hills disturb the rhythm and spirit of the forest, At our many rest points we enjoy the beautiful views of Chiang Mai below. The challenging terrains of the route capture our full attention. The wild growth of the forest hugs the path. Half way down, we leave the dirt path and head straight through the forest on single track over roots and rocks, a well deserved break at a secret waterfall, and then single track all the way to the lake for lunch. This ride, although not easy, is a great introduction to off road downhill mountain biking. At the Lake our favorite Lunch spot prepares the well deserved meal for us. After Lunch we head back to Chiang Mai the lazy way, in the truck and full of great memories. |
