Tour Description:

The countrysides of Thailand is filled with picturesque sceneries that will captivate your heart. In order to perfectly capture and enjoy the sceneries, cycling is the best choice for travel. As you travel along the countryside trails through rice fields, forests, along rivers, you will be able to let your eyes feast on the beautiful views. In this tour, we will bring you to cycle and kayak around the Sri Lanna National Park. The Sri Lanna National Park is located approximately an hour away from Chiang Mai.

Early morning around 8.00 AM, we will pick you up from your hotel and then transfer to Bua Thong Waterfalls. Buathong Waterfalls is a very popular waterfall in the area due to its unique features. The waterfall is special as in it is easily climbed by all. There is a mineral deposit that exists in the waterfall and has been on the surface of rocks in the waterfall which makes the surface of the rock becomes more grippy. If you are up for a fun challenge to climb up the waterfall, you can try it here on the special rocks in the waterfalls.

We will leave Buathong Waterfalls and begin our cycling journey on quiet country roads. Along the way, we cycle past teak forests and paddy fields with rolling mountains in the background. Once we are near the Sri Lanna National Park we will cycle across the stunning dam of the reservoir. Sri Lanna is consists of many mountains, valleys and numerous streams that feed the Mae Ngat Reservoir which in turn feeds the Mae Ping River. We will continue to cycle for a while until we reach the reservoir where we take off our helmets and put on life vests. Then, we will board a longtail boat which brings us across the lake to a floating restaurant for a delicious meal on Thai specialities.

After having lunch, we prepare ourselves for the kayaking session. We will paddle around Buffalo Island for about 45 minutes. The Buffalo Island as the name suggests is inhabited mainly by buffaloes. We then kayak back to the restaurant to have a swim and enjoy the remaining afternoon. Soon after, it will be time for us to head back and end this fun journey.

In this trip, we ride around 20 kilometres on good quality roads with small undulations. This journey is suitable for all riders and great for families. Other than that, an air-conditioned support vehicle will follow and provide water and fresh fruit.
