To ride a mountain bike through the Annapurna Circuit is on the bucket list of many avid cyclists. Tick this off your list by joining us on a guided, 14-day cycling trip. Journey along one river valley and down another between some of the biggest mountains in the world while enjoying stunning sceneries and authentic highland villages, where you can experience the warm hospitality of the Nepalese people and enjoy delicious food.
Start out by exploring the backstreets and narrow alleys of Kathmandu before hitting the trail. Drive to Besisahar and start your uphill journey. Cross the Thorong La, the world's highest navigable pass, and descend down to Muktinath, a shrine revered by both the Hindus and the Buddhists. Relax in the hot springs of Tatopani before heading to Pokhara, from where a flight will take you to Kathmandu.
While the first five days of this trip mostly involve uphill cycling, as the saying goes, what goes up must come down. The route goes straight down to Jomsom from Thorong La. Enjoy some epic single tracks down through the famous Lubra Valley and beyond. After all, you did not just spent five days climbing over a frozen mountain pass on your bike for nothing.
