Chiang Mai Off Road Ride Through Forest and Elephant Trails
Discover Chiang Mai’s natural rhythm on an ATV ride where every trail tells a story of land and life
In the quiet hills of Ban Mae Khanin Nuea, where forest shadows dance across red dirt trails and mountain air smells of mist and rain, you’ll find a ride that speaks not in speed, but in scenery. This Chiang Mai Off Road experience brings the northern wilderness to life through sound, scent, and sight—from the hush of jungle trees to the rush of river crossings.
More than a thrilling adventure, this journey supports sustainable travel. Local guides—who know these trails not from GPS, but from memory—lead every ride with care. Though their English is simple, their insight runs deep. A portion of each tour helps improve village life and protect the lush environment you’re about to enter. This isn’t just a tour—it’s a meaningful connection with the land and its people.
100 River Route Adventure
Take on Chiang Mai’s wild side with M1—a 25 to 30 km off-road route built for thrill seekers. You’ll charge through dozens of flowing streams inside Ob Khan National Park, following muddy tracks that twist through dense jungle and steep forest paths. It’s physical, it’s scenic, and it’s unforgettable. Midway, you’ll stop for a local-style drip coffee break beside the river, recharging in the cool jungle air. After the ride, you’ll visit Patara Elephant Farm and feed the elephants—a grounding moment after the adrenaline rush. This is the definition of an off-the-grid escape, led by locals from Ban Mae Khanin Nuea.

360° Viewpoint Route
If you’re more about mountain highs than muddy lows, M2 is your route. You’ll head uphill on mixed terrain—part paved, part off-road—winding through forest until you reach the 360° viewpoint above the clouds. Here, fresh air and fresh-brewed coffee come with a side of awe. On the return, pass through local avocado farms before arriving at Patara Elephant Farm to feed elephants and learn about ethical elephant care. It’s a lighter trail than M1, but still packed with natural beauty and heart-pounding views.
