Description:

Cycle up the highest mountain in Thailand, Doi Inthanon, on this bike tour. Take on this challenging 12.4-mile (20-km), 6,561 feet (2,000 m) uphill battle to the top of the country's tallest mountain.

Your tour begins with a hotel pickup from Chiang Mai. Pass various ecological flora and fauna as you embark on this memorable route.

Start your climb to the top from the mid-point of this charming mountain, stopping by a local market to shop for natural snacks like blackberries and dried fruits freshly harvested from the slopes of Doi Inthanon.

On your way up, break for charming views across Thailand and enjoy the fresh air. As you pedal up steeper roads, reward yourself with a visit to the charming Naphamethinidon and Naphaphonphumisiri chedis (Buddhist shrines) and gardens dedicated to the king and queen of Thailand.

Soldier on the final 3 miles (5 km) of your ride before reaching the peak, offering rewarding views from the summit of Doi Inthanon.

Catch your breath and enjoy a cup of local coffee in the brisk air before starting your descent. Take a well deserved roll back down the mountain, and stop for lunch at the charming Mae Ya waterfall. After finishing your lunch, continue downhill to the base of the mountain where you'll pack up and return to the comfort of your hotel.
