TRIP OVERVIEW:

Experience a Day of Adventure: Biking and Jungle Trekking

Combine biking and jungle trekking for an unforgettable day trip! In the morning, trek through thick, pristine jungle to a Shan village. In the afternoon, bike across the flat floodplain of the Ping River, passing rice paddies(during term time, fruit orchards, and small local villages. The trip includes a visit to a hill tribe school (during term time) and Ban Den Temple.

The day will begin when you are picked up from your hotel, and we will drive about one hour north towards Chiang Dao. As Thailand’s third highest mountain, Doi Chiang Dao, comes into sight, we will turn off the highway and into the foothills, where the trek will begin. From here, you will make your way by foot through the jungle. The trekking time will be approximately 2.5 hours. The jungle here is pristine and very rarely trekked.

You will trek up to Mae Mae Shan village situated in the mountains, and we will stop for a well-earned lunch break. The lunch will be prepared for you by the local Shan villagers. After lunch, we will visit the local hill tribe school where children from a diverse range of ethnic groups are taught. These groups reside in the hills in this area.

We will depart Mae Mae by pick-up truck and make the short drive to our cycling starting point. The rest of the afternoon will be spent biking through the rural flood plain of the Ping River. Part of the route will be on dirt tracks and some on quiet paved roads. We will bike through small villages and rice paddies, and along irrigation canals. On most days, you will see local farmers working their rice paddies and fruit orchards.

Our final destination of the day will be Ban Den Temple, where we will board the vehicle for the drive back to Chiang Mai.

Note: School visits are only available during term time.
