The hike is steep and mostly involves climbing. I expected it to be a slight relief moving to the bike however the terrain was rocky and slippery. Do not recommend if you haven’t MTB before! Overall fantastic experience and saw some beautiful views. The 2 food stops are amazing, Pa Kra Pow and Chicken Red Curry”
