All about the trip

Join us for a bike tour in the Northern city of Chiang Mai often referred to as "the rose of the North." This beautiful city is known for its rich culture, historical sites, and friendly people. Our local friendly guide will lead the 25-kilometer bike ride, keeping the pace nice and easy. On this tour, you will visit local Buddhist temples, a former leper colony, a local elementary school, and plenty more!

The route takes us on quiet and green land roads, passing the historic settlement Wiang Kum Kam, founded in 1286 by King Mengrai. It was the capital of the Lanna empire for only 10 years. We will see temples and ruins dating back hundreds of years.

We make a stop at a local temple en route. The guide can tell you everything about this temple and Buddhism in general. Furthermore, we visit the McKean rehabilitation center; a former leper colony, once cut off from the outside world. Nowadays it is a rehabilitation center for people with many kinds of physical disabilities.

We continue our Chiang Mai bicycle tour and stop at an elementary school mostly attended by hill-tribe children.

The ancient Lanna empire produced some of the finest ceramics ever to have been made. These days the northern region still is the major center of Thailand’s pottery industry. At a small pottery, we will watch the craftsmen make different shapes of pottery by hand!

Riding along the Ping River we breathe in the local atmosphere that makes Chiang Mai so special.

We stop at a local bakery where we have a delicious sweet bun while watching them produce many other different products.

At the market, we see the same products back in small traditional shops, and here you have the opportunity to sample some of the most delicious and exotic fruits and other snacks.

During the Colors of Chiang Mai bicycle tour, we stop every hour for a short rest and provide you with drinking water or a soft drink. Halfway through the trip, we provide a small Thai meal (Khao Soy Kai) in a local restaurant. Discover the hidden places of Chiang Mai through this recreational, cultural and educational half-day Chiang Mai bicycle tour. Join this adventure to the unbeaten paths and to sites where old traditions continue to live on.
