Excellent X-Country and Downhill Combo

It was an excellent ride through the National Park and farms. The bike is a hard tail but well maintained. A lot of the ride is on farming access roads but they are still pretty steep, rutted and challenging. No jumps or drops, so I would rate the downhill as 'Blue' by Australian standards. The uphills are pretty steep and more of them than I expected. The total ride is about 23km with 384m of elevation gain. Had a very good coffee along the way and finished with a very nice lunch on the lake. I definitely recommend the tour and the guide was a really top bloke.

Most highly recommended in Thailand. AAAAA+

This trip was awesome! The mountain biking was the best I have experienced so far. The trail, and jungle were pristine. My bike was a perfect fit, just like my custom bike at home. The quality of the trip was unreal and so were the guides. Lunch was good too! Most highly recommended in Thailand. AAAAA+

Bikes almost good to throw away...

I wanted to do a little bit of downhill on single track engaged... the European boss, explains to me that for me the best is their exit on trail 6x as he calls it by certifying me single track and 35 km. Result not even 30 and x country.Three little bits of single that you don't enjoy because bikes are rotten. Fortunately the guide and top and the scenery great. Too bad because there are other trails like I was looking for ... But with their gear not even I think about it. Disappointed and the only one responsible is the boss.

perfect dayout :D

Take care to chose the right trail for your experience. When they say advanced it actually is an advanced route... and I heard that the beginners rout was quite difficult too, but everybody enjoyed the program. Recommend :D

Simply The Best

It was not my first MBK trip - but definitely one of the best! The briefing held was highly educative and professional, never the less with a good pinch of humor. Listening to the briefing already assured me that we are in highly professional hands! The bikes we got were used, but top of the range! The staff immediately changed break cables from left to right and vis versa if the biker was used the other way around. We started on 1100m altitude (if I remember correctly), in the mist, above Chiang Mai near the mountain palace, crossed through a picturesque village with scenic hanging gardens full of flower beds in all colors and then gradually biked up to 1580mA. At times it was steep and difficult, but also challenging and fulfilling! I thoroughly enjoyed the "hard work" part! The 2 guides were alway near but and helped with advises and guidance. Afterwards we had a great 10-12 km downhill, first through Dschungel, then lychee orchards and farms. We took it easy and stopped here and there. Back at the car park we were offered to take another 10 road trip to the restaurant, wich part of us accepted. It was of course different to the MB track, but still very rewarding because you come across villages, schools and temples. Gradually back into real life! The end was a great meal (Glaces chicken on steamed rice with morning glory and a bowl of soup) The ride back to town was short And fast - in spite of the traffic. We were 7 participants and 2 guides and got a great connection on this trip - almost like after a bonding or team building exercise... Jayjay and team, thanks for a wonderful day!

No.1 Chiang Mai: Advanced XC Downhill Biking, Doi Suthep N. Park: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chiang Mai.

How much does No.1 Chiang Mai: Advanced XC Downhill Biking, Doi Suthep N. Park cost?

+

Prices start at $2500 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Chiang Mai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does No.1 Chiang Mai: Advanced XC Downhill Biking, Doi Suthep N. Park take?

+

Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Chiang Mai is not rushed.

Is No.1 Chiang Mai: Advanced XC Downhill Biking, Doi Suthep N. Park worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Chiang Mai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule No.1 Chiang Mai: Advanced XC Downhill Biking, Doi Suthep N. Park?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is No.1 Chiang Mai: Advanced XC Downhill Biking, Doi Suthep N. Park suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 11. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book No.1 Chiang Mai: Advanced XC Downhill Biking, Doi Suthep N. Park?

+

Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Chiang Mai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Chiang Mai and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does No.1 Chiang Mai: Advanced XC Downhill Biking, Doi Suthep N. Park start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Chiang Mai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Chiang Mai?

+

On Outty we rank every Chiang Mai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half-Day Thai Cooking Class at Organic Farm in Chiang Mai, Full Day Thai Cooking at Farm (Chiang Mai), Thai and Akha Cooking Class in Chiang Mai. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Chiang Mai?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Chiang Mai?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
