At 9:30 AM, our adventure begins with a hotel pick-up to the base camp. After a safety briefing, we gear up and fit our bikes before shuttling to Monthatan Waterfall. Here, we start our 11 km hike through stunning highland jungle, home to towering indigenous Mai Yai trees, towards the Hmong Hill Tribe Village at the summit of Doi Pui National Park.
After about 3 hours of steady walking, we reach the summit village at 1400m, where our bikes and gear will be ready. After a well-earned lunch break, we descend through the National Park on mountain bikes. The 2-hour (14 km) ride down to Lake Huay Tung Tao is thrilling, with gravity rewarding us with a cool downhill ride and breathtaking views of the Mae Ping Valley.
Once lakeside, we enjoy a delicious meal with cool drinks and can take a refreshing dip in the lake before heading back to our Chiang Mai hotel, returning around 4:30 PM. This tour, combining hiking and biking, offers an unforgettable adventure through Northern Thailand.

A wonderful was to discover the region off the beaten track - I was alone with the guide, riding through mud and the forest. It is not easy, and you must be ready to suffer a little... but it is so rewarding!
We went through small mud paths, even if I feel relatively comfortable on bike, I was breaking the whole time. The company had brought full protection gears for me, and the bike was in an excellent shape. So the everything was provided to make sure the real risk would be minimised. Be ready to suffer up-hill, be very focussed and happy your breaks work well as you go downhill, and enjoy amazing views and encounters that you would probably not have done otherwise.

Excellent way to spend the day - Completed the hike and downhill mountain bike in January 2025. I am an experienced hiker and novice mountain biker. The hike had interesting sections, especially at the start, while the higher elevation (thus cooler temperatures) and lack of crowds made it an enjoyable experience. The downhill mountain bike trail was at my level (beginner) and the bikes were in good condition. My guide (Khun A) was knowledgeable, funny and spoke very good English. Overall I would recommend.

Great taste of adventure sports, views and Thai food! - Hike was challenging in the beginning, fantastic overall. View from the top was worth it, along with coffee and a great meal in the village, followed by downhill and cross country mountain biking. At the bottom more sights, an opportunity to cool down in a lake and more delicious Thai food to recover before heading back to Chiang Mai. Thank you Donia for being the best guide we could have asked for in everything we did!

Great hike, great guides, excellent coffee, okay bike ride. - The lush jungle hike up was excellent with loads of flora and fauna. The guides were patient and informative. The coffee up top was as local as one could ever ask for. The bikes coud use revamping for us folks spoiled at home with nice mtn. bikes, but just enjoy the ride and try not to expect a 'hardcore' biking experience. The team was great!!

Solid workout, but worth it - Had an awesome time doing this, it's a tough hike. Ive done trekking before but never in jungle conditions with humidity.. The first part is quite steep but it gets easier. The mountain biking is a lot of fun, I took the easier route and glad I did.. I'm sure I would of wiped out on the hard route haha. I'd highly recommend if your physically fit and want something adventurous to do in Thailand.

Awesome hike and bike, with banging coffee at a plantation - Awesome experience, best thing I did in Thailand I think. I’m very sorry not to remember the guides name but he was great, knowledgable, funny and professional.
We had a small group which was great.
Hike was 7km 700m elevation, bit slippy in parts so you need proper shoes not just trainers if it’s wet. If you’re not fit, you won’t enjoy it. Coffee plantation was incredible, awesome treehouse style place with their own coffee, I bought some to take away(need cash obviously). Had a good lunch too.
The downhill mountain bike was so fun, and it started raining heavily which made it even more fun. Through lychee and avocado plantations. Lychees tasted delicious! Again, you can do it slowly and safely, but if you’ve never mountain biked or limited experience you’d find it hard and perhaps scary at points. Proper pads and helmets are provided though, and it’s not dangerous. Bikes were great too.
All in all
Highly recommend

Awesome experience… Donai was the best lead. - Hike was tough with 40 degree temp. However downhill biking was a blast. It’s not a beginner friendly activity. I had a wipe out, and scraped my knee and arm pretty nicely. Donia our group lead gave prompt First aid! He’s the best! Will do it again in winter!

Awesome trip. Amazing guides - The trip was amazing. The only reason I gave it a 4 star was due to them having to change our trip itinerary last minute to do the sticky waterfall and 22km back country biking. Still was epic, but not the original plan/trip we wanted. But our guides were fun and the views were still amazing.

Intense, exhilirating and super fun! - This was quite the experience. First of, everything was run very well. From hotel pick up, bike size selection and the information given. We were then driven to the start point of the hike. The hike was really good, at times it was really steep, mixed in with some not as steep sections. We walked in standard sneakers and they were fine. The start of the hike was relatively easy and had lovely waterfalls. It got pretty steep pretty quickly, but the guides are great and will go to your pace. We had one guide at the front who we kept up with, and the second guide at the back stayed with those who were a bit slower. Once we got to the top the views were lovely. The guides pointed out thisngs on the way, different insects and plants etc. It was quite a few degrees colder at the top. Lunch was delicious. There was 3 or 4 different items to chose (i had fried rice - was delicious). THen it was time for the downhill ride. And downhill it truly is! I wasn't as prepared for this bit. I bike ride (road bike), but this was way more intense than i was prepared for. I will say again, the guides were amazing. One rode ahead with the guys in our group who were happy to go flying down the hill. The second guide stayed at the back with myself and another who were taking it as slow as the bikes would allow us! As there had been so much rain in the past month, the tracks were quite muddy and uneven. The bikes did slide around a fair bit. I will say it was one of the more intense things i have done, but it as awesome. I never once felt pressured to ride faster or go beyond my ability. It started pouring with rain towards the bottom and that made it pretty full on. Anyway, i made it to the bottom, exhausted and thankful to be done in one piece. We were all totally drenched and covered in mud up our backs, but still laughing (eventually). We had out second lunch by the lake. It was too spicy for me but I was able to eat the rice. Had it been a sunny day, the views would've been incredible.
One thing I was happy with was on the way they stopped at a 7 Eleven for you to get any snacks you might need. Am guessing its because its quite an intense hike - in heat that we're not used to. I bought a gatorade and some soft jelly lollies. Both of which i was grateful for. I drank the gatorade and my water (supplied by the company) and i the lollies helped my my energy levels. Once we had the first lunch I was fine and didnt need anything for the bike ride. I do highly recommend this acitivity, but definately have a basic level of fitness!

Fun day out - Great opportunity to try proper downhill MTB. Definitely not for the faint of heart as its a steep and bumpy ride. Fun day out all round. Would be better if there were larger option bikes available; they all seemed to be M size so it was difficult to pedal uphill on the few occasions that was needed.
