For anyone who is a dedicated mountain biker, then surely the thrill and pleasure of riding the trails beneath the highest mountains on the planet is a 'must do.' In fact, Himalayan Mountain Biking is now very popular with some of the Nepalese people too. Some of our local riders are now ranked amongst the best in the world. That's hardly surprising considering their 'training areas.' As part of a custom vacation in Nepal, we can include some of the best day rides in the Kathmandu Valley area to the full on assault of the grueling Annapurna Circuit.
As far as the trails of the Kathmandu Valley go there's a right old mix of what we'd describe as classic cross country style riding to be had. Singletrack trails through forests and hills, trails linking villages that present a variety of interesting possibilities, interspersed with jeep tracks and the odd bit of paved road. Where practical, we provide vehicle support and also carry your luggage. You'll have a dedicated mountain biking guide who knows how to ride rough and may even be able to teach you a trick or two. We include mountain bike rental as standard (front sus, hardtails) and helmets meaning you don't have to bring your own bike. Of course, if you prefer, you can bring your shiny steed instead. Just let us know, and we'll advise you on the 'pros and cons' of this. The village trails in Nepal make for ideal singletrack rides, dirt roads for those lung-busting climbs and of course those blistering, big descents too.
