About this tour
Pack three disciplines into one morning in Chiang Mai: climb forested trails with ridge-line views, descend technical singletrack on a proper mountain bike, then paddle a river in a kayak you control. Five hours of genuine outdoor work, not tourist theatre. You'll see why locals choose to live surrounded by this landscape. All gear, guides, lunch and transport included. Suitable for anyone willing to push a bit.

What to expect
You'll start with a guided hike gaining real altitude through thick forest, stopping for views that justify the leg work. Then switch to bikes—these are proper rigs, not rentals—for a technical descent mixing technical sections with scenic runs. Your guide sets the pace; there's a support truck shadowing the group. After regrouping, you'll kayak a river section where you're in command of your own boat. Lunch breaks up the day. Expect to finish tired but properly exercised, not exhausted.
