Chiang Mai to Chiang Mai – 9 Days
Ride through the stunning landscapes of Northern Thailand, from Mae Hong Son to Pai and beyond. This 9 day adventure takes you from the cultural heart of Chiang Mai, up the highest peak in Thailand, Doi Inthanon, and into the peaceful valleys of Mae Chaem and Mae Sariang. Each pedal stroke brings a new discovery, from ancient city gates to hill tribe cultures, across Northern Thailand’s most beautiful landscapes.
As you cycle from the markets of Chiang Mai to the valleys of Mae Hong Son, embrace the physical challenge and cultural immersion of this tour. Rest in cozy guesthouses, swim in cool pools and interact with welcoming hill tribes, including the Karen and Shan people. This is not just a cycling tour; it’s a deep dive into the heart of Northern Thailand, its natural beauty, history and people. A journey for adventurers who want to combine athletic achievement with cultural exploration and leave with memories of stunning views and new friends.
DOI INTHANON ASCENT: Climb to the top of Doi Inthanon, Thailand’s highest peak at 2,565m. This tough route rewards determined riders with alpine views and highland scenery. The final ascent is steep but unforgettable, followed by a scenic descent into Mae Chaem for a relaxing evening in the cool mountain air.
NORTHERN HILL TRIBES: Immerse yourself in the cultures of Northern Thailand as you cycle through remote mountain villages of the Karen, Hmong and Lisu people. See traditional lifestyles, colourful textiles and centuries old customs. These are meaningful cultural encounters that will enrich your journey with insight into the diverse heritage of Thailand’s highland people.
UNWIND IN PAI: After the big climbs and mountain passes, relax in the bohemian town of Pai. Surrounded by misty hills and hot springs, Pai has boutique cafes, street food and creative energy. It’s the perfect place to recover, explore at your own pace and enjoy the laid back spirit of Northern Thailand’s mountain culture.
CHIANG MAI OLD CITY: Cycle through Chiang Mai’s Old City on a guided tour, through historic gates, temples and local markets. This easy ride introduces you to the city’s Lanna heritage, hidden alleys and charming cafes – a cultural and active start to your Northern Thailand adventure.
