Not quite up for the physical challenge of Annapurna, but still want to ride through the incredible scenery of the world's tallest mountains? The riding for this trip starts in the Scenic Hill Station of Nagarkot outside of Kathmandu, hitting some awesome Enduro Single Tracks through the jungles and rice fields. Next, the tour takes the rider to Pokhara, the laid back lakeside paradise and the Peace Pagoda Trail. The highlight of the trip is the 5 days of riding high up in the Annapurna Region on the Jomsom-Muktinath Trail. This journey showcases the magnificents of the Himalaya’s, the rich and vibrant culture of Nepal and some of the best bike trails in the world. This is for riding skill level from Intermediate to Advanced.
We are working closely with our partner Himalayan Singletrack, who is committed to growing women's mountain biking in Nepal. Part of the cost will go directly to purchasing bikes and gear for ladies in Nepal. We encourage all travelers to try to bring as much extra gear as possible to be left in the country- helmets, elbow and knee pads, new or gently used mountain bike clothing, sunglasses, nutrition, etc.
The trip will be supported by porters, so you will not need to carry your overnight gear with you on your bike. Each night, you will stay in a cozy teahouse (basic lodging) in the mountains. You will room with one other person each night and the accommodations include a bed, a bathroom and sometimes a hot shower!
