About Takkatan Hiking and Biking in Chiang Mai Thailand:
- The Takkatan Cave System serves as the day's starting point, and an early outdoor lunch near the summit with stunning panoramic views prepares us for our Mountain Biking adventure.

- Elephants are watching us as we ride by. While crossing the ever-present Khanin Creek, we find a cool respite in this heavily forested valley.

- After rehydrating, we travel to the breathtaking Obkhan River National Park, where the steep canyons beckon us to explore.
- This unforgettable day is rounded out with a 1-hour nature walk and a well-deserved swim.
