A 45 minute drive north of Chiang Mai brings us to the beautiful Mae Ngat Valley. We start out by visiting
the amazing Ban Den Temple located at the entrance of the Valley.
Although this trip is not a Temple
tour this Wat is hard to miss and makes a great starting point for our ride. Leaving all the glitz and
glamour behind we now head into the Valley through open rice fields passing local farmers tending to their crops,
experiencing traditional farming.
Cooling off we stop at a local produce markets and see what is on
the menu.
Relaxed we continue riding through the rural villages to the south of the Valley. Splurging on
local fruits and snacks we are now energized for the kayaking leg of our Adventure. The ride left us with
new impressions and we are now ready to change pace and leave civilization behind. With help of
the favorable current of the Mae Ping River we are now steering our kayaks into the Mae Taeng Jungle
Reserve. Only accessible by boat, as nature lovers, we find our peace here in this serene and
quiet setting, As bird life accompany us through the Forest Reserve we reach the far south end of the

plantation setting awaits us with a well deserved meal and a cold drink.
