Detail Itinerary
DAY 1: CHIANG
MAI - CHIANG DAO
On arrival at Chiang Mai
Airport you are met and transferred towards the
northern hill region around Chiang Dao, ( If you are
already in Chiang Mai we will pick you up at your
hotel). The roads conditions are very poor; however
the breathtaking mountain scenery make for an
interesting drive. After an enjoyable visit to a
remote elephant camp at Chiangdao we have our first
chance to get on bike to explore Chiangdao Caves
which is home of a sacred Buddhist sanctuary. We
continue cycling from rural lanes onto off road
trails leading to hill tribe villages where we will
spend the night as guest of villagers. O/N at Tribal
Hut. (L,D)
DAY 2: MOUNTAIN BIKE
Upon leaving the village of
previous night we ride our bike off road trails to
get out of the valley. We rest our legs on a short
drive delivering us to another remote village from
which we will start two hour walk past the rough and
verdant mountain landscape. There are many stop
opportunities to meet local people and shoot some
wonderful pictures. At the end of our trek we pedal
the tough trails as we please. The roads are
difficult at times with some uphill and downhill
riding but it is still an unforgettable experience.
O/N at Tribal Hut. (B,L,D)
DAY 3: MOUNTAIN BIKE
- SRI LANNA NATIONAL PARK
Today we continue riding around
this charming valley before we head out on
undulating roads towards the Sri Lanna National
Park. Here we drop our bike and embark on our
sit-on-top kayaks for an energetic three hours
paddling on a lake, exploring the beautiful
limestone rock formations and watching many species
of bird , as it is part of the park. Arriving at
floating house by late afternoon we enjoy an well -
earned rest . O/N at Floating House. (B,L,D)
DAY 4: SRI LANNA PARK -
CHIANG MAI
An impressive way to begin our
day is a view of the beautiful sunrise over the
lake. We have plenty of time for swimming, paddling
or exploring the lake. After lunch we row our kayak
towards the lake shore and meet with our waiting
vehicle for a rough drive back to Chiang Mai. (B,L)
