What to expect
You'll start at Doi Suthep's elevation and work downhill through the national park's mixed forest tracks and singletrack. Expect a mix of fast-rolling descents and tighter switchbacks—your guide will show you the smoothest lines and you'll ride at a controlled pace with frequent regroups. The trail opens onto broader valley views as you lose elevation. After six hours of riding (including stops for water and technique), you'll reach Huay Tung Tao Lake where you can cool off with a dip before heading back to Chiang Mai town in the support vehicle.
Good to know

Minimum age is 12; avoid this tour if you have spinal issues, poor fitness, or are pregnant. You must be sober and in good health; your guide can stop anyone riding dangerously.
