Overview
06 — Mountain Loop
A full-day mountain loop leaving Chiang Mai for the roads around Mae Rim and Samoeng before winding back through Route 1269 and Hang Dong. Forests, valleys, fields, coffee and small local stops make the road itself part of the experience.
The idea
Sometimes the road is the destination.
Leave the city for the mountains, passing forests, valleys, fields and small towns before looping back to Hang Dong. The point is not arriving, but the loop itself.
