Route A – Chiang Dao Jungle River
As the rains ease with the cool season and the hot dry season begins the slowly receding water levels allow us to enter deep in to the jungle and navigate through the lush and overgrown waterways of the northern Ping river.

Route B: Chiang Dao Mountain Views
Starting 75 km north of Chiang Mai, this route reveals a beautiful valley with orchards, rice, corn fields and rolling hills. The famous Chiang Dao Massive mountain, the “last tooth of the Himalayas”, sticks out like a giant fin. At 2,225m tall with its jagged and sharp peaks, The Ping River, here swift and twisty, flows vigorously in the shadow of the Chiang Dao mountain. Every turn seems to present itself for a new photo opportunity as we drift south across the valley. A great place to learn the tricks of the trade without the harsh consequences of a Class 3 river. Is it crabs they are looking for as locals are snorkeling the river banks? Near the village of Chiang Dao you will enjoy a hearty lunch by the river.
