This day we have some hills for you, but mostly small paved country roads again. You will pass Muang On caves and San Kamphaeng hot springs, both a good option for lunch. The Muang-On Caves are filled with beautiful stalactites and stalagmites, and fluorescent lights artfully placed around to enhance the look and feel of natural rock formations. Well worth a visit. The San Kamphaeng hot springs contain water with a high sulfur content and it is said to cure many diseases and improve blood circulation. A nice stop and soak while cycling.

You will find some lunch options at the dam. The road after the bridge will be a few kilometers of dirt roads with some steep parts. Once back on the concrete road there is a long stretch through the forest without any people living there. You can take a left towards the Buatong Waterfalls with a few small food stalls for a visit, or continue the route towards Mae Ngat Dam.

The route takes you through a forest area and almost to the top of a mountain with incredible mountain scenery, beautiful greenery, and wildlife. You will pass through hill tribe villages. Most hill tribes live almost self-sufficient, contact with the city is quite limited. They find a way of providing for their own needs on these steep mountain slopes. If you do not want to climb too many hills you could stay on the main road, road 107, as our route will loop back to the 107 before arriving at the hotel

Day 8

CHIANG DAO – CHIANG MAI

On the last day, we will be travelling from Chiang Dao to Chiang Mai to the starting point where the adventure began. The first part of today is for the Chiang Dao cave. Chiang Dao Cave features beautiful crystal formations and is an interesting place to visit. Boasting some of the most spectacular stalactite and stalagmite formations in the country, Chiang Dao Cave stretches many kilometres into the mountains. Next a stretch of dirt roads, and then back to better roads again towards Mae Rim and then proceed to Chiang Mai.

Moderate to Difficult: Climbs are frequent and strenuous.

Difficult: Very hilly terrain such as you will find with our Himalayan Bicycle Expedition tours daily distance normally exceed 60 km, but not always. A very mountainous terrain but shorter daily distance will often times warrant the designation of Difficult.

Very Difficult / Challenging: Tours with longer distances and strenuous climb for eg Bike and Trek Adventure.

Training guides and fitness

For our trips, we are often asked “what kind of fitness levels are required”? Of course, if you have booked a trip that is at the upper end of your capabilities, you want to know that you have done all you can to prepare. Unfortunately, these questions are often the most difficult to answer. Only you know your current fitness levels and capabilities and can prepare according to the options available to you.

When altitude is involved, your ability to acclimatize is going to have a much greater impact on your progress than your fitness. However, poor fitness and preparation is not going to increase your chances. In an effort to help you reach your active adventure goals, we’ve produced helpful Fitness Guides to help prepare for your trip

It is always best to make your preparation as close to the real thing as possible. Of course, it’s tough to replicate the major mountain ranges around the world, but make sure you include ups and downs if you are preparing for a mountain ride. If you are still unsure about your fitness, or the difficulty of the ride, we suggest you refer again to our grading system or talk it through with one of our experts and please download our Cycling Fitness Guide.
