| | Kathmandu is Nepal’s largest city, and its capital. A lake once filled the Kathmandu Valley and ancient myth tells of the monk Manjushri draining the lake with his sword. Today the unique topography of this valley - ringed by small hills and dotted with villages - offers the mountain biker endless areas to explore without ever leaving the relative comfort of the capital city. In addition, the Kathmandu Valley is the historic center of Nepal.
In the Kathmandu Valley, are three great towns: Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur. They were all once independent kingdoms with powerful kings who encouraged the construction of temples and the creation of many enduring works of art. Each city centered around the king’s palace, with the nobility and high castes concentrated close to the center. High walls where built to fend off each city’s neighbors. But in 1743, King Prithvi Narayan Shah started a conquest that would unify the different states into one within 15 years.
An 8 – 10* day tour (* optional 2 day raft) with 7 days of cycling plus 2 days of rafting as an option. This tour takes us on a circumamulation of the whole of the KTM Valley Rim visiting all of the high points & power centers of the valley.
Unparalleled views from the 4 directions, great accommodation with a touch of luxury, hilltop retreats, views of 8 of the 10 highest peaks, pine forests, pristine sunrises & sunsets framing the Himalayas and mountain bike trails that will have you wanting to stay for more or return for another tour of duty. To ease your rear end we add 2 days of white water adrenaline then bus you a short way to complete your mtb circuit of The Valley and return to KTM... unparalleled!
