Chiang Mai E-Bike Countryside Ride

Explore the Countryside of Chiang Mai by E-bike 

Spend a morning cycling on this leisurely adventure through the Chiang Mai countryside. Take a rewarding ride through forested foothills just outside Chiang Mai. Ride the undulating, quiet roads through beautiful countryside with teak trees swaying in the breeze and creeks burbling away in the background. Visit small farms including a flower farm and skirt the boundary of Ob Khan National Park. Ride over Doi Suthep’s smaller neighbor, Doi Kham and conclude at the Rajepruek Royal Garden where we enjoy a cool drink and a wander before returning to town by vehicle.

TOUR ITINERARY 

Start Time: 7:30 am – End Time: 12 Noon  

Gather at the Grasshopper Shop 

Meet at the Grasshopper Adventures Shop at 7:45 for a 8am departure. Please look for a greenery co-working space " Punspace" -  our office will be located in front of it. After a quick bike fitting and briefing we pedal out of town on lightly used roads.  

Doi Kham 

Our ride starts with a ride through a Royal Agricultural project that aims to improve crop yields for northern farmers. We then have a hill to contend with, but where the e-bikes make the whole thing a breeze and then you can enjoy a little downhill coming into the valley.    

Cycle across the Countryside 

We ride through a lush valley with small villages, then into farmland that is varied in topography and in produce. Fruit trees are the mainstay, but there is rice and vegetables grown also. There are some artists retreats tucked away here and there, and people out here are very friendly.  

Ob Khan National Park  

We don’t enter the park, but instead skirt around it where we ride under the shade of broad teak leaves and pass some quite remote villages where chickens will be wandering around and the locals will cheer you on in your efforts.  A stop at a small, roadside café is a nice place to enjoy a cold juice or coconut and some local snacks. 

Rajapruek Royal Gardens 

As we ride back towards town, we encounter a large, manicured garden known as Rajapruek Royal Gardens. These are stunning botanical gardens featuring an impressive Royal Pavillion. We can take a wander here and enjoy a cool drink before we transfer back to Chiang Mai by van.
