Cycling tours around Chiang Mai

Cycling tours with Northern Trails
Chiang Mai surrounding valleys offer great cycling possibilities for outdoor enthusiasts.
The Mae Sa valley, located a mere 30 km north of Chiangmai town is a tourist destination area, featuring orchid farms, elephant camps, landscaped resorts. The landscape is hilly and it should be well considered if you want to go deeper into the mountains you must have a good mountain-bike and be prepared. To start with, a good map is available in Chiangmai: the Mae Sa Valley loop, by the Golden Triangle Rider ( GT-rider.com ). Ride on....
Chiang Dao area and the Maetang valley area offers also wide range of riding possibilities. Unfortunately the small and fun trails are not usually marked in maps.
Another option is to take an organized tour, which will offer all support, drinks and more, provide a good mountain-bikes, and escorted by smiling English speaking Thai guides. Call Northern-Trails for booking a trip, or more info on bicycle touring.
