Thailand

Ride amazing single-tracks of Chiang Mai, winding through lush forests and the quiet hills of local tribes.

This isn't just another mountain biking trip; this is your chance to experience Chiang Mai, the soul of Northern Thailand. For over 700 years, this city has been a cultural melting pot, the capital of the historic Lanna Kingdom, and the place where the local Thai and vibrant hill tribe cultures intertwine. We’ve designed this journey for riders who crave a story, who want to feel the history of a place in the dirt beneath their tires.

The magic of Chiang Mai is its perfect paradox: it’s an ancient, walled city that pulses with a modern, international energy. It’s a place dotted with boutique cafes and centuries-old temples, where the old and new live side-by-side.

From the city's edge, we ascend into a world of flowing singletrack, tracing ancient pathways carved deep into the mountains by local hill tribes. These are their trails, guiding us through lush jungles before opening up to reveal their stunning, high-altitude tea estates and coffee farms. As we share the same trails they walk today, you’re not just exploring a network of tracks; you’re connecting with the a kingdom and the people who call these mountains home.
