Today is a treat for mountain bikers as the trail winds from rice fields set among soaring limestone cliffs through villages of local hill tribes. After lunch at a Forestry Camp, the riding continues along serene mountain trails.
Cycling on back roads through many small villages you’ll see how the locals live and work. The afternoon ride is one of the most scenics on the trip and a real pleasure to cycle. The day is topped off with a stay at a beautiful resort with a splendid view of the Mae Kok River.

Ride straight from the resort to a Jakhu village before hopping onto a boat for a leisurely cruise down the Mae Kok River. The afternoon riding is off-road, with beautiful views of the river, before the surface switches to tarmac for our final push into Chiang Rai.
Day 5 : Chieng Rai – Chieng Khong ( B , L )
Though today’s riding is picturesque, through rice fields dotted with limestone karst mountains, on good road surfaces, the highlight will be the lovely lodge we’ll spend the night at. Set right in the middle of a Hmong village you’ll be able to mingle with villagers and have tea with the shaman.
