The engine kicks, dust rises, and the morning light catches on wet leaves as a line of ATVs files out of camp toward the high ridges outside Chiang Mai. Riders ease through a short training loop, then follow a route that threads between rice paddies, single-track jungle, and dirt backroads — the countryside pushing at the edges of the trail like a living map.

The engine kicks, dust rises, and the morning light catches on wet leaves as a line of ATVs files out of camp toward the high ridges outside Chiang Mai.

This region sits on the shoulder of the northern Thai highlands, where old volcanic soils and river terraces shaped small farming valleys and teak forests. The area’s history is visible in roadside shrines, carved teak houses, and traces of Lanna-era agricultural plots; local hill-tribe communities still cultivate much of the land, and the route often skirts working farms and orchards.
Expect a mixed 40 km route of on-road sections and off-road jungle trails over roughly three hours of riding (total tour time is often longer with transfers). The course balances technical singletrack and easier dirt roads, so riders of beginner to intermediate skill will find it engaging without being overwhelming.
Practically: arrive with closed-toe footwear, long sleeves, and a small dry bag for phone and passport copies. Guides provide CE/DOT helmets, protective suits, water at scenic rest stops, and a cooked lunch at camp. Pay attention during the safety brief — terrain can change quickly when the monsoon freshens the trails. Bring a second set of dry clothes for the return, and plan for a 1.5-hour transfer each way from central Chiang Mai.
