HIGHLIGHTS

Cycle in the shadow of the highest peaks on the earth, the unspoiled Himalayas
Lifetime experience cycling across the highest Himalayan pass - Thorong La
Enjoy the mountain terrain, lush valleys, glaciers, lakes and scenic beauty

Mountain bike the famous Annapurna Circuit for a one-in-a-lifetime challenging and scenic ride! Looking for an incredible adventure and something beyond the same old trekking? We have designed this two-week mountain biking package in the Himalayas.

The Annapurna region earns its popularity from stunning mountain terrain, lush valleys, glaciers, lakes and overall incredible scenic beauty, along with a prominent culture and traditional lifestyle in this high alpine region. A biking tour is the best way to discover these hidden treasures and diverse landscapes of the Annapurna.

The trail starts right from Besisahar and follows river Marshyandi to its source, catching the enchanting mountain views of Mount Manasalu and Himal Chuli to the east. En route, cycle by mountain villages inhabited by a wide diversity of local people. Extending the breathtaking scenery to its side, the trail continues to the north of the main Himalayas range to the height and dry Tibetan plateau. Biking via the Thorang La pass, you will pierce from Manang—one rain shadow valley— into another valley --Mustang.

The trip includes a visit to Kathmandu and Pokhara, including a sightseeing trip in the Kathmandu Valley.
