Half-day E-bike Nam Phrae (hilly, fully paved roads, GUIDED)
Highlights
- 4-hour guided e-bike ride on paved hills
- Routes start from Nam Phrae, 30 min south of Chiang Mai
- Free hotel pickup included
- Lunch or snack provided
- Small group capped at 8 riders
This hilly, fully paved e-bike route starts at the same Nam Phrae office as the flatter countryside ride, but the difference is real: climbs on paved roads through the hills south of Chiang Mai, rather than a flat rice-paddy loop. The FAQ is direct about it — this is the harder of the two, though the e-bike motor makes the climbs manageable. Distance runs 35-40km on fat-tire e-bikes, passing rice fields, orchards and villages, with Wat Umong, the forest temple, roughly halfway through the ride and Wat Ton Kwen near the end of the morning route. Other named stops include Wat Phrathat Doi Tham, Wat Ban Pong and Royal Flora; how long the group lingers at each depends on interest.
Riders meet at the Nam Phrae office, about 30 minutes south of the old city, with free hotel pickup and drop-off included inside the 4-hour window. The FAQ sets a 150cm minimum height, asks that parents contact the operator first about children, and notes customers into their 80s have completed the tour. Group size is capped at 8.
A lunch and bottled water come with the morning ride; the afternoon ride gets a snack/fruit and bottled water instead. Bike, gloves, helmet, private transport and insurance are included, plus fees and taxes.
Watch out: bring your own sarong for the temple stop — shoulders and knees need covering and it isn’t supplied — along with sun protection for the open hillside sections.

Itinerary
Wat Ton Kwen is an old Lanna style temple and is located at the end of our morning adventure. Of course you see more than only Wat Ton Kwen, which is the most well known stop on our way. For details of Wat Ton Kwen we recommend to read their own description. Let yourself get surprised by the beautiful way to get there and further, including some more interesting stops. This is a great ride through the beautiful scenery around Chiang Mai in the hills. We cycle mostly in slightly curved land on paved roads. Focus is on the cycling experience on our E-bikes and seeing interesting places on our way like orchards, beautifull views and some villages we cross. Distance: 35-40 km
Several other, less touristic stops all over the tour area. Stopping times depend on interest of the group.
