Introduction
If you enjoy Mountain Biking and wish to experience as much of Nepal as possible
in a week holiday this 'Around Kathmandu Mountain Biking' tour is an excellent option.
This is a 5-day biking trip on the ridge-top trails which encircle the Valley's
rim. We travel along little-used dirt roads away from the hustle and bustle of the
city. Only a short bike ride away lies a delightful world of wooded slopes, small
villages, hidden temples and the views which include all of the principal peaks
of the Nepal Himalaya - from Makalu to the Annapurna providing some excellent, easy
to semi - technical single track riding along old jeep roads. During these five
days we will experience all of the sights, sounds, tastes and smells that make up
life in Nepal’s 'Middle Hills'. We will visit the historic cities of Patan and Bhaktapur,
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 so close to the bustle of Kathmandu, but so far off the beaten tourist
trail.
With the mornings spent cycling above a sea of clouds, it would not be an exaggeration
to call this a heaven for mountain bikers! Throughout the trip, 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 fun, or take it more seriously, challenges lie around
every corner
