Following your English speaking cycling guide, you'll discover two scenic valleys located north of Chiang Mai: Mae Taeng and Chiang Dao. Both valleys offer their own attractions such as caves, waterfalls, temples, as well as scenic views of paddy fields, various plantations, and mountains. As a guided trip, you only need to do what you'll enjoy the most, riding your bike. The rest is taken care of by your friendly local English speaking tour guide.
To avoid the commuting to Chiang Mai, you'll spend two nights in a comfortable boutique hotel located in the countryside, as a base, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
