Fixed Departure Tour
Mountain Biking Lhasa to Kathmandu with Western Leader
Tour Type: Fixed Departure Tour
Total no. of days: 23
Cost: US$ 3295 per person

Our experienced western guide will lead you on a mind blowing mountain biking experience from Lhasa to Kathmandu and much of the surrounding attractions. We will follow the main route which runs westward, parallel to the majestic Himalayan range. Along the way we will cross six major passes and traverse a high arid plateau area. Spectacular monastery towns and ancient settlements provide many wondrous sites throughout our trip. We will also take a detour away from the main route in order to reach the Pang La pass, which allows for extensive views of the Himalayas. The highlight of the trip for many is our stop over at Everest Base Camp. Gazing up at the sheer monstrosity of Everest is an unforgettable experience. After staying one night at the base camp we go back to the main Kathmandu route.

We cross one more high pass as we reach the edge of the Tibetan Plateau. After the Thang La pass we cruise down a 4600 meter descent. The descent ends at the valley of the sun Kosi River in Nepal. A final easy day’s traveling brings us back to Kathmandu. Along the entire way a truck, Sherpa staff, and 4 wheel drive Land cruisers support our journey. Experience the real natural high! Come mountain biking in Nepal and Tibet!
