My brother and I did the "Up and down mountain challenge" and challenging though it was, it was an awesome experience! Damo and his crew are extremely knowledgeable, whilst still being fun. The route takes you through some of the best scenery around Chiang Mai, and even includes a temple - if you can manage the 300 odd steps. We... more

My girlfriend and I took a one day Mountainbike tour with Crank from Chiang Mai. Had a great day, wish we'd gone longer. Damo (leader) and his team are great, our group only had 4 people, and the day felt like an adventure with mates rather than just another South East Asian Tour operator. We had varying abilities and the... more

We did a 20-km hike along a Hill Tribe trail up to a small village. There were a few other tourists there, but it was far from... more

I had been in Asia for a few weeks and pretty much hired mountain bikes all through Laos and Northern Thailand as a way to get around. The only problem was all the bikes were completly terrible and it was a real struggle to get a bike that was half decent and had been serviced regularly. So after looking around... more
