Overview

This event is geared to the very fit traveler who is looking for a physical challenge in a new territory. The steep ascent presents a verity of Northern Thailand's unique forest from Bamboo to Pine. Leaving the logistics to us gives the fit challenger time to tackle the mountain and enjoy an optional bike ride from the top.

Itinerary

The MonLong Peak Trail is a steep ascent forcing a 1000 m elevation gain. The fit hiker will tackle these 6 km uphill in 3.5 to 4.5 hrs. You will have yourself pacing at 100m elevation gain intervals towards the top. And it's all worth it for the spectacular views of the Mesa valley and the Suthep mountain range. You may easily find yourself above the clouds as well. Refreshments and lunch at altitude is waiting for you at the summit. Those with the stamina can now enjoy the optional downhill road ride back to the valley floor by mountain bike. Those beat by the Peak can cool off at the back of the truck. Are you ready for the challenge?

I was looking for a hike to do and found this one that suited my dates. Everything went smoothly, the guides were friendly and spoke good English. Aidan picked me up promptly at my hotel and dropped me and my guide Sakchai off while he waited for us in the truck at the finish point. I got a private hike as I was the only person who signed up for the tour. Really appreciate that they still went ahead despite me being the only customer. Fair warning - the hike is STEEP. I think it was also due to the hot period that the ground was covered in heaps of dry leaves, which made it slightly slippery. Luckily he provided me with trekking poles. I was also only wearing Adidas running shoes, and the hike was still doable. Sakchai was fun to talk to, enjoys hiking, biking, running and the great outdoors. He also explained to me about the forest, the type of ground (clay) and some wildlife. I must also caveat that there's no super 'scenic' view during the hike. You're mostly hiking through the jungle where all you see are trees until you get to the top. The total length of the hike was 6.5 km and it took me about 3 hours to get to the peak where you're finally rewarded with a view. Unfortunately for me, it was at the tail end of the burning season and I was greeted with a very hazy view. Still a sense of accomplishment after not having hiked for 2+ years! I didn't do the mountain biking option - at the end of the tour, Aidan was there waiting and we had lunch before taking the truck back down.
