Possibly the most popular on-road adventure tour we offer — and for good reason. This is Northern Thailand in its full spectrum: mountain forests, tribal villages, legendary border crossings, ancient kingdoms and some of the finest riding roads in Asia.
Covering 1,860 kilometres and more than 7,000 curves, this journey connects Chiang Mai, Chiang Dao, Chiang Rai, Chiang Khong, Pua, Nan and the UNESCO World Heritage city of Sukhothai — the ancient capital of Siam.
En route you will experience the Samoeng Forest, elephant sanctuaries, white water rafting regions, Chiang Dao Cave, Doi Ang Khang, Doi Chang, Akha and Lisu hill tribe villages, the stunning White Temple, Doi Mae Salong, Doi Tung, Mae Sai on the Myanmar border, the infamous Golden Triangle, the mighty Mekong River, Phu Che Fah, Phu Sang Waterfall, the ancient salt wells of Bo Klua and the vast Sirikit Reservoir.
The riding, the scenery, the destinations — the combinations simply work for everyone. We guarantee the tour of a lifetime, with memories and stories that will never fade.
