DAY 1: CHIANG MAI - CHIANG DAO

On arrival at Chiang Mai Airport you are met and transferred towards the northern hill region around Chiang Dao, ( If you are already in Chiang Mai we will pick you up at your hotel). The roads conditions are very poor; however the breathtaking mountain scenery make for an interesting drive. After an enjoyable visit to a remote elephant camp at Chiangdao we have our first chance to get on bike to explore Chiangdao Caves which is home of a sacred Buddhist sanctuary. We continue cycling from rural lanes onto off road trails leading to hill tribe villages where we will spend the night as guest of villagers. O/N at Tribal Hut. (L,D)

DAY 2: MOUNTAIN BIKE

Upon leaving the village of previous night we ride our bike off road trails to get out of the valley. We rest our legs on a short drive delivering us to another remote village from which we will start two hour walk past the rough and verdant mountain landscape. There are many stop opportunities to meet local people and shoot some wonderful pictures. At the end of our trek we pedal the tough trails as we please. The roads are difficult at times with some uphill and downhill riding but it is still an unforgettable experience. O/N at Tribal Hut. (B,L,D)

DAY 3: MOUNTAIN BIKE - SRI LANNA NATIONAL PARK

Today we continue riding around this charming valley before we head out on undulating roads towards the Sri Lanna National Park. Here we drop our bike and embark on our sit-on-top kayaks for an energetic three hours paddling on a lake, exploring the beautiful limestone rock formations and watching many species of bird , as it is part of the park. Arriving at floating house by late afternoon we enjoy an well -earned rest . O/N at Floating House. (B,L,D)

DAY 4: SRI LANNA PARK - CHIANG MAI

An impressive way to begin our day is a view of the beautiful sunrise over the lake. We have plenty of time for swimming, paddling or exploring the lake. After lunch we row our kayak towards the lake shore and meet with our waiting vehicle for a rough drive back to Chiang Mai. (B,L)
