An off-road motorbike tour from Chiang Mai on small motorbikes, one bike for each rider. Forest dirt roads, stream crossings, lunch with a view and the Hmong village at Doi Pui. We meet at our meeting point; there is no hotel pickup.

Meet at the meeting point at 07:30. There is no hotel pickup on this trip. You get your bike and helmet, and the guide goes over the bike with you. We ride out at 08:00, the guide in front.

The route crosses several streams and small rivers, and we ride through them. The water is shallow, but shoes and trousers will get wet and muddy. Elephants live in this area, and you may see some near the trail. Keep your phone in a waterproof bag.

At about 11:00 we stop for lunch (included) at a place with a view all around, over the valley and the hills. A good time to rest out of the sun before the afternoon ride.

From about 12:00 we ride up to the Hmong village at Doi Pui, look around and stop for a drink. At about 13:30 we stop at the Doi Pui viewpoint to take photos.
