From Chiang Mai: Lamphun and Lampang Temples Tour

Begin with complimentary hotel pickup from Chiang Mai for a day spent in the less-crowded historical cities of Lamphun and Lampang. The tour's first stop is Wat Phra That Lampang Luang, said to be one of the best examples of Lanna-style architecture in the country. The temple complex houses a historical museum, massive brick gate, intricately-painted viharas, a sand-filled courtyard, bronze and copper stupas, all in a tranquil setting.

After lunch, head to Wat Prathat Hariphunchai, a fantastic 9th-century temple complex by the river.

The final stop is Wat Chammathewi Temple, home to a stupa surrounded by arches holding 60 Buddha statues; Queen Chama Devi’s ashes are said to be found inside. The unusual square "stepped pyramid" pagoda is the oldest surviving example of its kind from the Dvaravati period, the family of which ruled much of Thailand from the 6th to 11th centuries. After the day is completed, relax on a transfer back to your hotel in Chiang Mai city. Enjoy a low-impact way of exploring.

The overall ride was perfect for me on a non e-bike. The guide was very well informed and took care of all the riders as a couple were not really fit enough. A good day out in the countryside. I would have liked to ride back to the bike shop even if it was another 10 to 15 k

5 out of 5 stars

Great outing and with a very friendly and dedicated guide We really enjoyed the outing. (The guide when he goes out with seasoned cyclists he must understand that the safety rules he takes become just dangerous or even useless.)
