100 RIVERS CROSS COUNTRY
A PICTURESQUE RIDE FROM FARMS TO RIVERS, ENDING AT THE SERENE OB KHAN NATIONAL PARK.
Join us on an exciting, cross-country cycling adventure through the picturesque countryside of Sameong, just an hour west of Chiang Mai. This challenging ride will take you across rivers, past lush fruit farms, and through breathtaking landscapes, offering stunning views at every turn. As you cycle, you’ll get a true sense of local life while enjoying riverside paths that showcase the area’s natural beauty.
The route features a mix of peaceful paved roads and dirt trails, with some uphill stretches to keep things interesting. A key highlight is a stop at Op Khan National Park, where you can unwind and enjoy the tranquil environment at the end of the ride.
As you pedal through vibrant fruit orchards, you’ll be treated to a refreshing change of scenery from the usual rice fields, with plenty of opportunities for scenic photos along the way. With 16 km on paved roads and 10 km on dirt trails, this tour is best suited for cyclists with a good level of fitness, as you’ll navigate rolling hills and cross the river many times.
Designed for adults seeking a more demanding yet rewarding adventure, this cycling tour offers the perfect balance of challenge and the serene beauty of Chiang Mai’s countryside.
