Doi Suthep Summit at 5249 ft.(1600m) elevation, is the starting point to your awesome off road Mountain bike introductory ride. With hotel transfers, lunch, bottled water and all equipment included, this full day guided excursion from Chiang Mai, offers great views of the Mae Ping Valley as you descend along the jeep track through the National Park forest.
One of the most scenic and popular Mountain Bike rides in Chiang Mai, your mountain bike adventure kicks off with a transfer from your hotel and a comprehensive safety and bike fit-out briefing. Then you are all set to enjoy a 25 km ride, without the traffic.
Itinerary:
9.30am: You will be collected from your hotel and after registrations are done, embark on the 45 minute drive to the top of Doi Pui Mountain. It is here, at the summit of the Doi Suthep National Park, you will make the final preparation on your bike, take in a thorough safety briefing and then a short test ride to get comfortable with your equipment.
Heading off toward the Coffee Plantation, along the jeep track, your guide will evaluate your riding ability and will help you with your downhill riding technique. Following the track, you will pass through spectacularly large trees and enjoy the cooler temperatures until your arrival at your first resting point, the Coffee Plantation.
Home to the Hmong Hill Tribe People, you will be able to engage with the local community while enjoying the beautiful views of Chiang Mai and the Plantations below.
Setting off along the challenging terrain, this route now requires your full attention, as the wild growth of the forest hugs the track tightly. For the more experienced riders, there are single tracks paralleling the jeep route where you can take a little detour and get your technical single track fix.
With plenty of viewpoints and lightly mixed terrain to challenge you, the ride continues towards Lake Huay Tueng Tao, at the base of Doi Pui Mountain. The Lake is a favorite lunch spot and it is here you will enjoy a well-deserved meal, a cold drink and the local seasonal fruit. After another refreshing cool drink or maybe even a swim in the lake, take a glance back at the mountain that just gave you an awesome 3 hour mountain bike descent adventure.
Time to make a move and you head back to Chiang Mai, the lazy way, in the truck.
3.30pm: You will be delivered back to your hotel for a well-earned rest.
