Nepal has become one of the top destinations for mountain biking, with its varied landscape and wide variety of ecosystems to explore. Jeep tracks, trails, and paved roads take you through spectacular scenery, fascinating villages, and to ancient religious and cultural sites. Towering above it all are the mighty peaks of the Himalayas, snowcapped and majestic.

Our rides around Kathmandu Valley offer a rich variety of terrain, from terraced fields climbing steep hillsides, alongside rice paddies, through subtropical forest, and across wind-sculpted plateaus. The range of scenery will keep you fascinated as you climb, pause to take in spectacular vistas, then descend in a rush of adrenaline to the next valley.

Biking in Kathmandu and through small villages gives you a chance to take in the culture and heritage of this area. Friendly villagers live much as they have for many centuries. Many of the beautiful and fascinating temples scattered throughout the region are rarely visited by outsiders. A biking tour around the Kathmandu Valley gets you off the beaten path and lets you see more in less time than a trek on foot will allow.

We climb to the summit and are rewarded with a panoramic view of the snow-topped peaks of the Himalayas, with the pyramid summit of Mt Everest in the distance. We stay overnight in a beautiful guesthouse on the ridge.

At Sankhu we can admire the carved window frames of the Newari houses and visit the ancient temple of Vajra Jogini.

From Sankhu we follow a smooth tarmac road to the massive Boudhanath Stupa, one of the holiest Buddhist sites in this region. We stop for lunch and a visit to the stupa. Afterward, we ride back to Kathmandu or ride on to see the Budhanilkantha, a large 5th century statue of Lord Vishnu sleeping on the coils of the eleven-hooded snake king.
