1 hr 15m shuttle drive to Chiang dao Valley

The aprox 1 hr drive north   brings us to Chiang Dao valley . The massive Chiang Dao Mountain,  fin shaped, visible miles ahead. We are now getting close to our river Put In  and the entrance to our cave walk.

1hr Chiang dao cave excursion

Here we spend aprox 60 minutes exploring the large caverns of chiang dao cave,  a local cave guide accompanies us with a gas lantern. Our head lamps help us navigate the cave system. The large caverns with the high ceilings leave nothing out for our imagination. The local guide enthusiasticaly points out the varoius shapes resembling local animals and flora. High up on the ceiling we can see bats resting before heading out to eat local fruits.  The cave trip is a round trip leading into a well lit area with various Buddha figures and religious artifacts .  A short walk through the temple grounds bring us to our lunch place.

Thai lunch at the Restaurant near the cave.

Its lunch time,  Here is a good time to remind the guide of dietary restrictions. After a satisfying and strengthening meal we head off to our kayak put-in at the ping river.

2 hr + Chiang Dao river kayaking excursion

Our 2 hr + kayak trip takes us south through undisturbed jungle and bird - wild life, grasing water buffalows by the riverside watch us as we paddle by . The trip is very peaceful, surrounded by jungle and farm land, as we navigate the creek. Its great place to learn the sport and for many it is their first time.  The seasonal water level changes are taken in consideration when we choose the exact Put-in, so we always have a safe trip.

1 hr15m return drive to Chiang mai

After we kayak to our Takeout at the "Rocky Dam" we cant help but marvel at the mountain range to the west with the Chiang dao mountain stealing the show.  After we have regrouped we settle in for our drive back to Chiang Mai. We take you back to your hotel.  Arrival aprox 530 pm.
