The last major stop, was the two pagoda temples with amazing views from the mountain. There were a handful of stops at local crafts and food, which is both a cultural experience and a tourist trap, but we were never pressured to buy anything.”

The hike is about 3km and lasts around 2 hours, it is very pretty. The coffee shop was an unexpected highlight! We couldn’t see anything at the top because it was cloudy, this is quite common so be aware that it might not look like the pictures, plus it was chilly so take a layer / rain coat! The cloudy traveller pics are probably the most accurate, and we were a…”

“A great day's activity although it was somewhat different to the description in Get Your Guide. We were picked up late and the day ended later than the allotted time so be prepared to be flexible. Our guides were all friendly, entertaining and concerned for our safety. The hike was very short, around 3 miles, on decent tracks and the mountain bike descent long and quite tough on the hardtail bikes provided given the terrain. If you're not used to riding a bike I would probably avoid this activity but if you are used to it, it's an exilerating ride down! Despite the late start and finish we thoroughly enjoyed…”

“This trip was awesome! We loved all the stops and were extremely well guided and looked after by Piano/Porpia who was infectiously postive and enthusiastic. Her knowledge of each stop and the hill tribe was excellent and she did a great job of fostering camaraderie amongst our group! Her communication was also excellent including a check in on pickup location before she arrived. Our trip in February wasn’t cold at all (beautifully cool though) and lunch was delicious! Ample time at each stop was given, you won’t feel rushed on this tour. Would recommend for anyone visiting chiang mai without a car.”
