Skill: Intermediate | | Join us for one of the world’s great mountain bike journeys - a trans-Himalaya adventure that takes us from the mystical city of Lhasa to the bustling city of Kathmandu in Nepal.
During the course of the 15-day journey you’ll cross several 4000+ meter passes, visit the world-famous Everest Base camp and enjoy the world’s longest downhill ride! You’ll also pass through a breathtaking scenic mix of alpine plateaus, high mountain ranges and lush jungle. The Lhasa to Kathmandu ride is a grueling 3-week journey if traveled purely by bike, but we include 4WD support transportation. This gives you the best of both worlds - all the sights of a 3 week tour without having to ride the most grueling uphill sections or some of the less exciting flats. With a need for speed and less vacation time than you might prefer we’ve condensed into 15 days and you’ll be delighted with the result.
Most of our Bike Nepal & Tibet journey will take place on the Friendship highway, the majority of which is a well-worn dirt road, although now some 30% of it is tarmac. For those of you who prefer off-road, single-track riding, there are numerous opportunities to jump off the main road and take advantage of the herder’s trails that short cut the many switchbacks. These trails will challenge even the most avid downhiller.
The highlight of our Bike Nepal & Tibet journey is undoubtedly the spine-tingling descent down the World’s Longest Downhill. This 2000m continuous descent has been described by many as the high point of their mountain biking lives. |

“News and reports of Nepal being risky and unsafe created some uncertainty in making this trip. Your reassurances were right in that I made little to be concerned about. The trip was excellent, the locations visited outstanding, trails mind blowing! Bikers and hikers are missing out if they delay making this trip. Thanks for making it all happen” 
An Epic 20-30 minute flight by Kawasaki Helicopter, with the best Himalayan panoramic views, remote villages and rivers, then start the downhill ride for 30-50km, where you’re met with a picnic brunch and choice of your drink….. a life time experience……..
