If Mountain Biking is a part of your holiday plan and you wish to experience much of Nepal in a short time, then our 'Around Kathmandu Mountain Biking' tour could be just the option that skipped your mind. This is a ‘5-day pedal-away’ trip on the ridge-top trails which encircle the Valley's rim. We bike along little-used dirt roads away from the hustling and crowded centers of the city. Only a short bike ride away lies a quiet peaceful world of wooded slopes, small villages, hidden temples and eye catching views which include all of the principal peaks of the Nepal Himalaya - from Makalu to the Annapurna providing some excellent, cool to semi - technical single track riding along old jeep roads. During these five days we will get familiar with all of the sights, sounds, tastes and smells that make up life in Nepal’s 'Middle Hills'. Also included will be visits to the historic cities of Patan and Bhaktapur, the honeymoon hill resort of Nagarkot with its sunrise view of the entire Nepal Himalaya and the temples, monasteries and picturesque villages tucked away in the forests along the way. We are still so close to the humdrum of Kathmandu, but yet so far off the beaten tourist trail, where it’s quiet enough to listen to the birds singing.
With the mornings devoted to cycling above a sea of clouds, it certainly would not be hyperbole to call this a heaven for mountain bikers! Throughout the trip, if required, support vehicles carrying all our gear will either follow behind us or be with us at the end of the day. Whether you ride for the heck of it, or take it more seriously, the challenges that come with adventures out in the wild lurk around almost every corner you zip into…..it couldn’t get better than this…
