4-Day Enduro Adventure – Chiang Mai to the Myanmar Border
Chiang Mai – Chiang Dao – Pai – Myanmar Border – Chiang Mai
This is one of our most popular tours for intermediate riders and above, combining flowing trails, technical challenges, and epic border exploration. Across four action-packed days, you’ll ride deep into Northern Thailand’s mountains, tackling everything from fast gravel tracks to twisting single track that carves through remote jungle and high-altitude pine forest along the Myanmar border.
Day by day, the ride builds in intensity: from narrow ridge trails out of Chiang Mai, to scenic farmland in Wiang Haeng, to one of the most unforgettable border loops our guides all agree is “the best ride of them all.” You’ll finish with a thrilling river or suspension bridge crossing before blasting back into Chiang Mai with a huge grin.
Accommodation is comfortable throughout, with overnight stays in Chiang Dao and Pai offering both authentic Thai-style and more Western comfort options.

Who’s it for: Confident intermediate riders (and above) who want a mix of challenging single track, flowing off-road routes, and remote mountain exploration. Novice riders may also join at certain times of year—please enquire.
Note: This is a group adventure tour. While we enjoy moving at a good pace, riding as a group means mixed skill levels,
shared pacing, the occasional wait, and route choices made with everyone’s safety and enjoyment in mind.
