Mountain Biking

The best way to see Nepal, it has long been said, is to walk.  Nowadays, however, mountain biking is a serious alternative. Decent mountain bikes are in Kathmandu and Pokhara, where we can always provide good route information and well-organized tours.  Even if you’re not planning extreme off-road cycling is worth considering: bikes provide a more intimate experience than a speeding jeep or bus and they get you to places at a more exciting pace than trekking.

Despite Nepal’s Himalayan mystique, it’s not all steep: the Kathmandu Valley’s slopes are generally easy, and the Terai is just plain flat.  The longer and more scenic routes do tend to require a high level of fitness, and there are monster ascents (and descents) for those who relish that sort of thing, but there are also plenty of relaxed village-to-village rambles and downhill rides.
