Highlights
- Doi Suthep-Pui National Park - With bikes on the roof, we venture to the top of Doi Suthep National Park. But first we stop to hike the many levels of Monthatan Waterfalls. After soaking in the forest air we bridge the altitude with a drive to the summit . A classic hike here into these beautiful highlands brings us to a forgotten Hill tribe village. Lunch here grounds us. The kind mountain people make us feel at ease. Soon we are ready to ride down Suthep National Park. We cruise the first part of our 1200 m descent, visit an art Hmong Hill Tribe , which gardens and waterfalls keep us taking pictures. Passing the Bhubing Palace with amazing views we continue to the famous Wat Suthep. 300 steps separate us now from one the holiest places in Thailand. The magnificent temple grounds are a peaceful break from regular life. Culturally refreshed we continue cruising downhill on our comfortable Mountain Bike, admiring views of the Mae Ping valley .We see Wat Pha Lat, the ancient temple and leave with colorful memories.

Don’t miss this tour! - Great tour of DOI Mountain temples with a fantastic mountain bike descent on the road from the top… at least 20 minutes (15 km). Lunch of Pad Thai was good, too!

Amazing experience - We had a great experience on this tour. First we went on a great hike where we ended at a waterfall. Then we headed to the Hmong Village where our tour guide took us through the history! He took us a to an awesome local restaurant where the food was great! We biked around from here, visiting the Doi Suthep Temple. Our tour guide was AMAZING and taught us so much about Buddhism which we loved!!

Incredible day out with professional company. - Excellent day, the guides were helpful and informative, the bike equipment was well maintain and good quality, the gloves and padding was clean.
But the scenery and touring was incredible.
I would highly recommend.

Highlight of My Entire Thailand Trip - I went on the advanced 90k bike ride (#11). In then end we did a modified route that came out to 50 miles and 3,000 feet of climbing in a bout 5 hours. The entire bike ride was breathtaking, we went through roads in the jungle, mountains, hill top villages, and farm lands. It was stunning, and Jenny was an incredible guide. I was also the only person to sign up, so I had a private tour with Jenny, and it was a blast. Highly recommend!

Better be in shape. - You should be very fit and a good biker. "Leisure" in the description is deceptive. You are gaining 650 metres in elevation in basically a straight line with several very steep sections. Then 16 km. down a public road.
But if you're good with that it's a terrific bit of exercise with 20 - 30 min. Interesting stops at 2 temples and a Hmong village.
Guides were wonderful!
