Itinerary
We begin our ride from the city of temples, Kathmandu and head west to the city of lakes, Pokhara. We will travel mostly on cross country roads that take us through green forests, farmlands, ancient towns and villages. We will also witness refreshing views of Ganesh, Manaslu, Jugal and Annapurna Himalayan mountain ranges. We will have a full mountain biking ride experience: steep uphills, heart-stopping downhills, switchbacks, jeep tracks, dirt roads, and paved roads.

However, the client has to bear the additional cost (such as extra day food and accommodation), incurred by such an event.
Also, the company will not be responsible if the client misses international flight because of such an event. However, we will try our best to make arrangement for alternative flights.
Note – For our clients’ trekking/mountain biking in the high altitude region, we suggest them to always have an extra one/two day(s) while traveling to Nepal as the weather in the mountains in Nepal is really unpredictable.
