Tour: Elephant Village Mountain Biking
Description: Explore hill tribe villages, waterfalls, an elephant camp, a hot spring and jungle trails by mountain bike. This two day, one night tour takes you off the beaten path and shows you the natural beauty of Chiang Rai. Riding is 60% on dirt roads. On the first day we leave Chiang Rai and ride north about 10 km to a hot spring. At this point the road becomes dirt. We ride another 10 km to a beautiful waterfall and have time to relax, have a snack and a swim. After the swim we take a good road to a steep uphill and then have 5 km of dirt roads that lead us to an Elephant camp. Here we have a late and welcome lunch. At this point you are welcome to take an elephant ride if time allows. The last 5 km of the day are on dirt roads along the Mae Kok river. We spend the night at a newly built guest house along the banks of the river. You have time to explore the area. On the second day we cross a narrow suspension bridge and head back to Chiang Rai stopping at a hot spring for a soak and a bite to eat. The final 22 km are on quiet paved road with lots of curves and some rolling hills. We arrive in Chiang Rai in the early afternoon. This ride is great for an intermediate rider who is in fairly good shape or an advanced rider looking for something fun but not technical.
