Self-Guided Cycling Tours around Chiang Mai
Our popular, self-guided cycling tours around Chiang Mai have already successfully been operated for a couple of years. We offer unsupported cycling for 3 days (minimum) to 14 days and these trips have the advantage that you can start whenever you want (if accommodations are available). It's an eco-friendly and a more adventurous way of exploring parts of northern Thailand. Prices are more than competitive and the tours are also suitable for families with children. For young children, we have bicycle trailers, trailer bikes with 6 gears and children's mountain bikes with front suspension and 21 gears. Bicycles for both men and women as well as tandems are available. Whereas guided tours can only be booked with a minimum number of participants, self-guided tours are also available for individual travelers.
Included:
- adapted mountain bikes, also know as comfort bikes, with 24 gears and front suspension, rack and rear waterproof "Ortlieb" panniers, cyclometer, inner tubes, repair kit and pump.
- very good accommodations (mostly with swimming pool) with breakfast.
- very detailed route descriptions with the best guide book and map of the Chiangmai area.
- helmet, local insurance and back-up if necessary.
Remarks:
- The use of GPS or other tracking devices is not allowed on our cycling tours.
- We do not rent out bicycles and we do not sell route descriptions either.
- The half day, full day and two day cycling tours are only operated as guided tours.
- We do not oprerate roadbike or mountainbike tours.
- This is an unsupported, self-guided tour, meaning you will take your own luggage in the waterproof paniers that we provide you with. Extra luggage, not needed for the tour, can be stored at our office if you don't return to the same hotel after the tour.
To consider:
- If this is the your first cycling trip in the region, we strongly recommend you to join us on a guided half day cycling tour (CNX-CLHS) before. On this guided half day tour, you will get a lot of useful local information and it will also allow us to adjust your bikes a little before you start your self-guided tour.
