Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai are two must-see cities in northern Thailand, but why stick to the highway when you can take the road less traveled? Over four leisurely days, you’ll cycle through some of the region’s most breathtaking landscapes, immersing yourself in the rustic charm of Lanna—“the land of a million rice fields,” as the locals lovingly call it.  

Your adventure begins with a pickup from your Chiang Mai hotel and a short transfer to a nearby waterfall, where you’ll start cycling through lush jungles, farmlands, and past a shimmering reservoir. After visiting the glittering temple complex of Wat Ban Den, you'll spend the night at a rural resort in the district of Mae Taeng. The next morning, you'll continue to the Chiang Dao Valley, home to Thailand’s third-largest mountain, exploring a sacred cave and cycling through villages and orchards. From there, your journey takes you to the far north of Thailand, where you'll be immersed in the rich mosaic of cultures in the highlands near the Myanmar border and unwind at a tranquil riverside hotel.

On your final day, you'll hop on a boat and cruise downstream on the Mae Kok River before cycling through a narrow, forest-clad valley that leads into the plains surrounding Chiang Rai. You'll saddle off at the fantastical White Temple, and the tour concludes with a transfer to your post-tour hotel in Chiang Rai City.

Join this relaxed ride into the heart of Lanna, where every turn of the pedal unveils a new story!
