Below is our brand new itinerary as of October 2009 which includes a brand new trail we found on a recent scouting tour by us in october 2nd 2009  You are going to love the new route and we have kept the price exactly the same despite extending the tour by one day!

Day 1:  Meet & Greet.

Our staff will welcome you at Chiang Mai international airport and transport you to your city hotel.  As always our main plan of the day is to help you relax into the surroundings of this wonderful city with some great food and a few welcome drinks.

Day 2: Easing you into Dual Terrain and Rural Thailand.

Early start and we make our way into the jungle interior situated just a short ride from the outskirts of Chiang.  With Thailand's highest mountain visible on the horizon we climb deep into the forest up to 1700 meters above sea level on some some off road to start.  Our destination this evening is a stark contrast to the city life of last night instead very rural 1400 meters above sea level deep within a pristine pine forest in a karen Hill tribe satellite village.

Day 3: Caving and the road of a 1000 hairpins

Descending from the mountain we make our way on a peach of a road into green valleys surrounded by a myriad of mountains heading to Tham lod Cave for a 1 hour trek through this beautiful underground cave system.  After lunch we take a newly paved road close to the border of Burma making our way into a quiet village often overlooked by the tourist.

Day 4: Barbecue on the Border

We are onto the famous Mae Hong Son loop now and a road you will never forget.  A pilgrimage for many bikers to ride this awesome road carved out by the Japanese during WW11 a non stop roller coaster of a ride.  Our destination for tonight is directly on the Border with Thailand and Burma absolutely no crossing permitted at any time however, with the aid of the Thai Army our plan this evening is to stay in a group of unique cottages in the most serene location on the border.  Everyone needs to chip in this evening as we will be barbecuing our own food under the moonlight.  Great day today almost 2000 mters above sea level!

Day 5: Early morning swim in ice cold lake and off road again.

After coffee we make make a steady ride on tarmac off the mountain where our breakfast lays in waiting 1800 meters below.  Another jam packed day with an off road ride to a beautiful waterfall deep within the forest passing many hill tribe villages along the way.  Throughout the tour our staff will explain the various tribal groups we pass and today will be the Karen, Lisu and Lahu Tribes.  Off road is not too difficult but great fun throughout the day.  Great accommodation this evening in comfortable lodgings within in a maturing Teak forest.

Day 6: On road off road

Mae Sariang is a Burmese influenced with a unique appeal to the more adventurous of travellers.  Our route to this town will involve road and off road into unique areas poulated by the Meo tribe one of the smallest hill tribe groups in Thailand.

Day 7:  Base of Thailand's highest mountain

50% off road today and another day you will never forget with an exhilerating ride to the base of Thailand's highest mountain into a Lisu Hill tribe sattelite agricultural village. (Always a great evening in this town.)

Day 8: Doi Inthanon peak and Chiang Mai

Early start today to ride up to the top of the highest peak in Thailand, visit one of the most powerful waterfalls in the North and our return trip back to Chiang Mai.  We expect to return at around 3pm for a complimentary massage to ease away any tour aches and pains in prepaation for a night on the town in one of Chiang Mai's top restauarants.

Day 9: Depart

Sadly it's time for you to make your way to Chiang mai airport for your onward journey.  We will make arrangements for yor transfer back to CNX airport and hope to see you again in Thailand very soon.
