10 Days

This 10 day tour allows you to fly in and decompress before joining us for a biking experience of a lifetime, then relax for a day in Chiang Mai before flying out. The tour is scheduled to start on a Monday and finish on a Wednesday, fitting in nicely with a two week holiday slot.

The tour has been planned to take in the absolute best that northern Thailand has to offer – fantastic roads, beautiful vistas, quality hotels and “must see” attractions such as the towns of Pai and Mae Hong Son, the ancient city of Sukhothai, stunning Phu Chi Fa and of course, the Golden Triangle. To top it off, we’ll also visit the famed “White Temple” in Chiang Rai.
