The Golden Triangle

On this challenging bicycle trip, you will discover the fascinating "Golden Triangle". This area covers parts of Southern China, Northern Laos and Thailand and is connected by the Mekong. On the trip, you will experience stunning Landscapes covered by tropical forest and a matchless density of ethnic minorites. On a typical day spent on the bike you will reach the destination in the afternoon, take a shower and then have the rest of the day to explore bustling markets or local buddhist temples together with your tour guide. A day of cycling will make you hungry - so you will surely want to try some of the dishes made from fresh regional vegetables in a one of the local restaurants! Our route will lead you from Jinghong in South Yunnan through a natural reserve in Luang Namtha to beautiful Luang Prabang. From Lao's ancient imperial capital we take a chartered boat upstream, traveling two days on the mighty Mekong to the Thai border-town Chiang Khong. After three more days of cycling in Thailand and a boat trip on the Kok river you will spend the last two days of our tour in Chiang Mai. In a small group, you will cycle on paved roads through mostly mountainous terrain. Cycling experience is needed as some of the stages are longer than 100 km include longer climbs.
